We want our precious moments, as a family, captured, to be remembered and cherished so why not have a photographer to chronicle what are often the most poignant moments in a family history – a funeral?
There is so little discussion or even acknowledgment of death in society and people generally do little to preserve the memory of those that have passed away, so capturing these moments from different angles and perspectives will help families come to terms with the loss better without losing all the precious memories.
Some see it as disrespectful to take pictures at funerals and ask why you would want to record such a sad occasion. But if done considerately and without interfering with anyone, it can provide a true reflection of a time when the family came together and supported one another through the grief.
