In the aviation industry you meet so many people that it is nigh on impossible to remember all their names, but the brain has an amazing ability to remember a person's face. Therefore, as long as the families of the deceased gave their blessing, I have no problem with this. In fact I would prefer it if British companies followed suit and put a picture to the name. Doing so would allow those who had met the deceased before (whether that be working the same cockpit, passing some time in the airport or spending a layover in a hotel bar with them) time to reflect or pass on their condolences to the family.
