Is this an old ukrainian custom?

I am looking in to my family history and have been given some old letters and photographs from family believed to be from Ukraine. There is a picture of a woman in her late 40s who looks deceased and in a coffin, she is holding a cross and there are two young children stood beside the coffin looking at the camera. Is this a custom that was done quite a lot? And if it is, is this normally done for close relatives? Mothers, fathers? Etc the picture is dated 1959 so was taken 50 years ago.

Not necessarily Ukrainian, but just an older custom. People often took pictures at the funeral and gravesite as well.

Rugby Union in Ukraine

$71.7

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rugby union in Ukraine is a minor but growing sport, with a history dating back over six decades. The Ukrainian Union was founded in 1991, and joined the IRB in 1992, after independence. Although there was a union formed in the sixties, it was not considered a proper national union until after the breakup of the USSR. Rugby union was played in the Russian Empire as early as in 1908. In 1934 the Moscow Championship was started, and in 1936 the first Soviet Championship took place. In 1949, rugby union was forbidden in the USSR during the fight against the cosmopolitanism. The competitions were resumed in 1957, and the Soviet Championship in 1966. In 1975 the Soviet national team played their first match. Ukraine had its own rugby team in the USSR, but it was not treated as a proper national side. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
