A funeral mask, more often known as a 'Death Mask' is a plaster or sometimes waxen mask that has been formed over the face of the deceased. In the past, it was used for the purpose of creating sculptures, or to create portraits.
For forensic purposes, the death mask was often used to help in subsequent identification of the deceased, when it was not practicable to retain the body, thus allowing police to further present imagery of the deceased to enquirers.
The most widely known Death Mask is that of the Egyptian King Tutankhamun.
