Funny, the technology of printing photos of the dead on ceramic and
attaching it to the tomb of a loved one is really common here
(Europe). I don't really know how they do it.
They don't seem to fade. I've seen really old black and white ones on
graves here that look unchanged after decades of exposure to sun (if
you can call it that in Belgium).
I've seen the same thing here in Washington State. There's a
cemetery in Roslyn (the town where Northern Exposure was filmed) that
has many small oval photos of young men of Yugoslavian descent, all
with the same death date in 1918. They were all killed in a coal
mine disaster. Some of them are chipped, so you can see that the
color is under the glaze. None of them has faded a bit.
