depends on who the deceased person was to you - if you're close family, then it's certainly okay. Otherwise, it's best to ask the family if they have any objections.

I had the desire to take a picture of my father's military funeral viewing - I felt it was tacky so I didn't, but it was the most touching ceremony and I wanted the picture as a reminder. It has been 2 years now and I can still see in my mind the flag - flowers - VFW salute - it is all in my heart and mind and that is enough. I'm glad there isn't a snap shot of it.

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a law against it…
But it isn’t something that I would recommend !
I think when I die, I would like to be remembered for the way I lived, rather than for the way I died.
If people need photos to remember me by, then let them be photos of happy times we shared together !
I think a point that also needs to be taken into consideration, is the method in which the person died…
If, for example, the body resembled the twisted, mangled remains of a car accident, then I would strongly suggest it to be ‘inappropriate’ to be taking photos of the body !!!
You haven’t mentioned what relationship you are to the person who died…
If you are not an immediate member of the family
(son/daughter wife/husband mother/father),
and you have not discussed with other family members, the idea of taking photos of the body, then I would strongly advise against you taking the photos !!!

Probably not. I don't think that it is ethical to do that stuff. Why don't you just dig out some of the pictures you had of that person while they were alive. If you don't have any, ask the family. I'm sure they would have no problem giving you some or making copies for you. If you musttake the pic like for some kind of hit woman thing or something... make sure nobody sees you. Its Weird. And usually you don't want to remember someone that way. Sorry for your loss

It depends if its to disrespect then yes!!!!
If it's not than i don't see why not especially if he was a close relative...........on the other hand i would suggest you not to do it.
in my experience my grandfather died and i loved him more than anybody in this world when he died i didn't choose to take a picture of him .....well simply because i wanted to remember him at his best, not of him dead. So instead i preserved a flower he hold at his funeral. I still have it it was the last and best memory of him.

Try thinking of it this way. Would you want pictures taken of your dead body? I wouldn't. I don't even want an open casket funeral. I want them to remember me alive, not dead. Me dead is not me at all.

I've seen it happen and I think its inappropriate. Have respect for the dead.
