"A sadly typical victorian era photo showing a family posed with their now post mortem daughter, it was a custom in that era just before burial, and while it is most sad, yet it is also an understandable custom of that era in time before people could travel great distances in a quick or timely fashion for a loved ones funeral as is possible today, so at least this way ones relatives from afar, could see the beloved deceased person one last time before burial, all via a well posed photograph."

I suggest this be re-written. The whole structure of this paragraph sentence is just... bleh. Also, whoever wrote it the first time is adding unnecessary personal opinion. He or she may think it is 'sad' that a family posed with a corpse, but this has no bearing on the historical merits of the photograph, and serves to promote the writers' own sense of morality. Simply stating the facts: "This is an image of a Victorian-era family posing with the corpse of their daughter, as was custom in those times, so that the photo could be sent to distant relatives." Really is all that is necessary.
