A week or so ago, there was a thread on photographing funerals...

...and this addresses the subject a different way. The article is two years old, but as relevant now as then.
I am sure the admin will make the usual reaction and send this to links where it will not be seen, so look fast. :-)

As many of you know, I am on the board of the organization mentioned— Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.

Thanks for the post Cliff. Pretty interesting. As usual though a "commenter" had to stick his dumbass nose into it.
It just dawned on me again, that I had a buddy take some shots at my mother's funeral and never did show them to me. I'll have to ask him.
And good on you for your contributions to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. I just don't think I could it.

At first, I was repulsed by the idea of funeral photography...but, somehow - I think I understand the newborn parents perspective in their desire to commemorate someone that they never got to know - that meant so much to them....
Kudos on your commitment to what I am sure is an underserved need....

I don't think that's right but there are a lot more people that wants pictures of dead people. I problably have done some things in my life that people don't agree with. Different strokes for different strokes, ya know?
