Catafalque portraits served as reminders of the deceased's appearance for the mourners, including family members who were late for the actual ceremony. Sometimes the bed was the catafalque in the case of children, but often a bier was set up that became a heavily decorated catafalque. Sometimes just the dead person is portrayed, and sometimes mourners are included. Such portraits reveal various mourning customs such as head garlands, decoration of the hands or body, costumes, etc.
