When I was a kid I found my Grandmothers senior yearbook and she put a big "X" over their picture if they died and wrote off to the side how they did such as car accident, suicide, cancer, etc. I still find that strange.

Back in the day death wasn't so taboo. People were very familiar with it-Accidents, diseases that we've eradicated, wars. My grandmother wrote down what she wanted in her own funeral service (we couldn't find it when it came time, but fortunately what we arranged was pretty close.)
Most of us haven't lost a sibling in infancy, or watched a friend die of something that modern medicine would consider trivial. We don't like to think about it. Previous generations didn't have a choice.
