Why is there a warning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders at the start of some documentaries regarding images and voices of dead people?

Speaking the names of people who have died, or seeing any photographs (images) of them when they're dead is "taboo" in the Australian indigenous cultures. The warning is there so that indigenous people who still hold these traditional values do not accidentally see or hear images and voices, and are therefore neither offended nor distressed by them.

Why are photographs of the dead removed?

People are not in control of themselves or their bodies when they die and they don't look desirable for other people to see.
