It's pretty normal I'm my area for people to take photos/videos of deceased loved ones. It's a last memory and often shared with those who can't get to the funeral.
Really? I've never been to one where people did that
I have and I think it's really, really weird. But that's kind of an arbitrary thing, how you deal with the remains of a loved one is obviously a pretty socially defined thing.
Sounds weird
Yes. In my area, people have friends and family all over the place. For practical reasons (age, disability, finances, military service, jobs, kids in school, confinement to nursing facilities or hospitals, etc), this is practical. Elderly in homes wouldn't necessarily have tablets or email accounts for FB, but a visiting friend or family member does.
But why make it public? Seems deeply personal and something you'd keep to yourself.
People have far-flung family and friends. Maybe someone shares it with a forgotten classmate or family friend. Charlie Kirk was a public figure, so whether genuine or performative, his fanbase wants this.
