[QUOTE="witzend, post: 629507, member: 99"] I guess that photos is one more thing that the family might need to discuss with the funeral directors. It should be up to them to take care of whether this is done. Apparently some folks feel it is ok and some not. Maybe it should be (is?) on a checklist when the funeral is planned/paid for. They can tastefully and quietly ask mourners to not do that, or to do it at a particular time set aside for that. I'm [I]not[/I] in favor of saying who can and can't come to a funeral. If someone acts out, the directors should be on top of it and quietly ask them to leave. Every culture is different. When M was little we had a neighbor who had killed herself. Closed casket. OK, that's great - I think it was M's first funeral. She was Buddhist, and when they were done with the service they rolled her casket up to the oven and opened the oven doors and started the conveyor belt. :eek: We stepped away. Now, I know that this is very common in some cultures, but not in mine. I guess that as mourners we need to be prepared for what family does. As family we need to set reasonable limits. Saying "So and So isn't allowed to come to my funeral" is worse than taking selfies, in my humble opinion. Keeping things smooth is the funeral director's job. [/QUOTE]
