It should only be done with the agreement of or at the request of the principal mourners / family. The family will be too emotional to remember who was there, what wreaths and tributes were sent and other details.
Don't hide away and don't get people to pose unless you are specifically requested to capture a certain group.
And look out for the odd shots such as the Vicar wearing jeans and trainers!
One day you'll find, 10yrs have got behind you.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

I have been involved with funerary photography for just over a year. I have received very mixed reactions from funeral directors. There is a lot to consider, not only the family, but the venue of the service. I have had problems with one crematorium, and another crematorium owned by a large company have told me an absolute "no" to any photography within its' grounds-irrespective of the family's wishes.
It is still in its' infancy in this country, but we're getting there.

I hate funerals , been to too many recently and another is imminent

I hate wedding photography but would possibly find shooting a funeral easier and enjoy a wedding far more

Might that make it as irony

But if you are invited to the bun fight or wedding reception the money you save on food can go into the Lens & Camera Upgrade Fund

Although to some it will seem macabre, on the other hand we have an event where people meet up from all over the world who may not meet again for a long time if at all.
I've never been asked to do this, has anyone?
