Some say your hair still grows after you die – perhaps it’s reaching out for something to hold onto.

Many thanks to the wonderful Miss Jo O’Brien who overcame her fears to model for this image.

    I don’t blame her at all for not wanting to get in there! Great shot though MrR, you are always thinking outside the box (so to speak).

    John, I absolutely love this. And after freaking out with claustrophobia to make it happen, I should add, I’m relieved it looks so good!

    Powerful macabre image John.

    Jo – you are very brave! Was it as cold as you would expect on the slab?
