新加坡情侣棺材旁拍婚纱照引热议

 

For Jenny Tay and Darren Cheng, both undertakers, death played a "central and important part" in the photo shoot, taken for their upcoming wedding in October.

 

"A large part of the shoot was definitely inspired by our jobs," said Ms Tay, who is also the daughter of one of Singapore's most famous undertakers.

 

"Wedding shoots are often staged at places which bring the most memories. For us, work plays such a huge part of our lives so we wanted to do it in style."

 

But that was not the only reason behind the couple's photo shoot.

 

"Death is a part of life and shouldn't be seen as taboo²," Ms Tay, who has also written a children's book about dealing³ with death, told the BBC.

 

"It's important to talk about death; it's part and parcel of everyone's life. Many Asian societies often portray⁴ it negatively - we hope to be able to debunk⁵ that taboo by encouraging people to be open about death."
