A photograph used in a funeral announcement is generating criticism on social media for showing the deceased, Alberto Marques, with a beer in his hand. The image, which contrasts with the usual seriousness of death notices, went viral and sparked debate among users.
The funeral home responsible for the service responded to the controversy, presenting explanations for the choice of photograph. The company defended that the image reflects the personality of the deceased and that it was chosen by the family as a way to celebrate his life.
The case raised questions about the limits of personalization in funeral services and about what is considered appropriate to share publicly after someone's death. Opinions on social media were divided between those who see the image as a genuine tribute and those who see it as inappropriate.
