Though ancient Egyptians didn’t literally worship cats, they did see them and other animals as symbols of the gods’ divine qualities. They a
"This royal treatment began not with commoners but with the actual royalty, who let their cats eat from their plates in addition to adorning them in gold jewelry. Perhaps the most important feline deity was Bastet, a goddess of the home, fertility, childbirth, and, yes, cats themselves. Bastet was first depicted as a lioness before later being portrayed as a small domestic cat. Sekhmet, a lioness goddess of war who defended the sun god Ra from his enemies, represented the other half of cats’ most revered qualities. Statues of these “divine felines” remain to this day in museum collections."

TW: there is a postmortem photo.
so I’m thinking about the Victorian custom of making mourning jewelry. Basically this was having a piece of jewelry made, say a brooch for instance, when someone you loved died. Inside the brooch you’d include (usually) a lock of their hair. In fact, hair was in high demand on the Victorian mourning market, going beyond a simple lock of hair in a watch fob to becoming a part of the jewelry itself, woven into metal or used in the enamel, etc. Hair wasn’t the only thing kept. There are records of teeth making their way into rings for instance. Having a part of a loved one that had passed on felt like a way of keeping their memory close.
on another, and entirely unrelated note - I’ve also been thinking of the folk lore and superstition that a lot of cultures have that say when you clip your nails or lose - a tooth for instance - you need to dispose of it properly.
Because to have a part of someone else’s body is to have a way to control them.
Why Christians in the southern state of Kerala photograph funerals.

From Reddit:
Funeral candy. 19th century, Sweden. [1200x1138]
These highly decorated pieces of candy were given to the mourners at funerals in Sweden during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were technically edible but were really meant to be keepsakes from the funeral.
Similar sweets were sometimes offered at weddings and christenings (though decorated with different motifs, of course!).
