End of an Era

 

  Some works of art help remind us of friends and family who are no longer with us. 

Cemetery markers, memorial pictures, death portraits, hairwork, and photographic and painted portraits help us remember loved ones who died. 

Keepsakes such as portraits, miniature portraits, lockets containing hair, and jewelry help call to mind loved ones who are far away. 

In what ways do we memorialize people today, and what keepsakes of loved ones might we carry?
