After the funeral
Funeral photography
Some families hire a photographer for a funeral, memorial or celebration of life, to keep a record of the people who came and the tributes shared. It's a personal choice. If you're considering it, talk with the funeral home and your officiant first, because some services and venues limit photography.
Questions to ask a photographer
- Will you work quietly, without flash, during the service?
- Which parts of the day will you cover, and for how long?
- When will we receive the photos, and who keeps the rights to them?
- What is the total price, and what does it include?
