What is the term for the photo album people in the 1800s used for dead family members?

Back in the 1800s, and maybe still today, families would pose a dead family member in a seemingly normal scene and take a picture. What is the term for these special photo albums? I first heard of these in the movie "The Others," but I know these photo albums actually exist.
