As a photographer, I understand that it's essential for me to be considerate of how I capture funeral photos. While I aim to create impactful and poignant documentary images for the family, I'm also cautious not to appear to be taking advantage of people's vulnerability during a time of mourning. Therefore, I strive to strike a sensitive balance between tasteful photography and honouring the privacy and emotions of the bereaved.

Funeral photography is a very personal choice and may not be suitable for everyone. However, capturing images can be an important part of commemorating a person's life for those who cannot attend the service but still want to feel connected, as well as for those who wish to have memories of the day.

Experiencing the loss of someone, whether it is sudden or expected, can still be quite a shock. Everybody grieves in their own unique way, and having the ability to look back over end-of-life celebration images may help through the grieving process. Having tangible memories to reflect on, regardless of how small, can impact how we feel during our moments of grief.
