However, at my own mom's funeral, I felt like I had a right to, and got shots of older relatives helping my great-nephew learn to walk. It's good to have a camera at those follow-up dinners or receptions.Elizabeth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616212913975457786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-33951214341477898902011-08-26T20:19:30.382-04:002011-08-26T20:19:30.382-04:00In the days before digital cameras, one of my dist...In the days before digital cameras, one of my distant cousins (Irene) took a photo of the family group after a funeral, had it developed and printed, then pasted a cut-out photo of herself onto the print, took a photo of that, and ordered multiple copies of the modified photo and sent them to all the family. Unconventional, but it's the only photo I have of Irene!Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331380147873608965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-59420708884364274192011-08-25T12:51:03.665-04:002011-08-25T12:51:03.665-04:00One of my great grand-aunts died in 1922.

The only photo we have of the rest of the family (my great great grandparents and 3 of their children) all together as adults was taken at that funeral. It's a somber photo, but it really captures that moment in time, which is invaluable. It's definitely a good idea to take family photos at funerals, in my book.Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827314826408329481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-8609248649893782372011-08-25T10:26:36.161-04:002011-08-25T10:26:36.161-04:00We have many good photos taken that way.We have many good photos taken that way.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-70197175563229508442011-08-25T09:59:24.334-04:002011-08-25T09:59:24.334-04:00I should clarify that photos are typically taken a...I should clarify that photos are typically taken at the reception held afterwards and not at the church or cemetery. Though I admit I would have no problem taking photos of existing gravestones when at the cemetery. Taken discreetly, of course!Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738104230962644360noreply@blogger.com
