Was reading Dear Abby and someone wrote how upset they were that someone took pictures at a funeral. What are the opinions off the group? Jackie

> Was reading Dear Abby and someone wrote how upset they were that someone took > pictures at a funeral. What are the opinions off the group? Jackie I never did understand why they were upset...who was upset? I got the impression that it was a bystander who thought someone was being crude by taking pictures. If that is so, what business was it of hers, anyway? Pat

This is only my personal opinion but as far as pictures of the deceased I think it is totally wrong. I think that they would want to be remembered alive rather than dead. Now if the pictures were of family members away from the parlor and not during the funeral itself then that would be a different subject as I understand how allot of families only gather when something like that occurs. But not at a funeral. Then again as I said this is only my opinion. My mother took photos of the deceased and we had disagreements about that everytime she did. She finally got to where she would only take them when no one else was around but still sent me to have film developed so there went the disagreements again.
