As long as it's done in good taste...Like before the ceremony and before anyone arrives for the showings...I have a pic of my Granny and I'm very glad to have it...+8 on question:)
-
CuteandTiny has the response I was gonna give--its okay if its in good taste.
-
If the family has no objection, I see no reason why it would not be appropriate.
-
It the family is okay with it, it is appropriate, I think most people do not want pictures of themselves grieving. But on the other hand, you only see some relatives at funerals, so they may want pictures of them.

My Grandparents would take pictures of the deceased and send them to family and friends of the deceased who could not make it to the funeral. It was strange when we went through their pictures after they passed. I wouldn't....I would maybe take picture of family members after the funeral, because that is sometimes the only time everyone gets together from all over....weddings and funerals...
-
Umm, i don't know why someone would want to take pics at a funeral. But as along as the family is ok with it then i guess its ok.
-
Only if the family is okay with it. If you aren't sure, ask the person in charge, not the family.
-
Hmmm personal choice. I understand pictures of family members gathering, but of the deceased?
-
I would find it in poor taste. Maybe before or afterwords, but durring the funeral it's self no. Although if the family doesn't mind, I guess it would be ok.
-
Not thats a bunch of bullsh*t.
-
I really dont think it is. I wouldnt take pictures. Its a occasion were its time to pay respects and not take tons of pictures.
-
It is respectful to show the good pictures of the funeral, the onees that are in focus,you know the choice pictures, to the people from the family and to give them the ones they would want to keep. In that context everyone is on the same page. And no it is not disrespectful to take pictures as long as the family knows that you are taking the pictures. Because years from now it is nice to look at the people who came to show their respects to the family in their hour of grief.
