Coffin pictures allowed

Are we allowed to add pictures of someone in their coffin? My grandparents had a child in the 1940s and he died from whooping cough as a baby. The only picture of the child the family had taken was when he was laying in his coffin.

Allowed, yes. In good taste or necessary, probably not.

And this is how the pictures of the dead started. Many people did not have images of their families but when one died, they had a photograph taken to remember them. This still happens today but only in the newborn world. I am a newborn photographer but volunteer with an organization that takes images of families who have experienced the loss of a newborn or infant.

Not only in the newborn world. I have a friend who is a professional photographer is frequently scheduled for funeral photographs, including images of the deceased.
However, those images are not typically shared outside of the family.
I stand corrected. I have a photographer who has photographed funerals.
