I agree with you. I don't mind if they take pictures of the flowers or the grave site after burial with the flowers around. These can be shared with friend and relatives who sent flowers but were unable to attend. But pictures of the deceased? That's a little weird. The only exception that I have is this example. A stillborn baby was delivered by a young woman whose husband was in Iraq. There were many pictures of the baby taken because he couldn't come back for the burial. It was the only chance he had to see his baby.

I think it's okay for the family to take pictures of their loved one in a casket but for other people is kind of strange...

I wouldn't say that it's wrong. I think it would be an individual thing. Family would be OK but others, I think a little weird but need permission from the family. I have a friend who took pics at her moms funeral and she says it helps her. But, I personally wouldn't want to. I would want to remember them in happier times.

Yes its terrible..I don't understand that...I know a friend who took pictures of her 2 week old baby that died and posted it on the internet....It just looks like she is sleeping but to put on there that she already passed away..Its just wrong!!!

It MAY be OK as long as you ask permission of the family and explain very politely that you would just like something to remember them by.
I would personally prefer to remember them while they were alive though.

i took pics of my dad in his casket and also my daughter in hers,but i keep them hid so i don't look at them.just keeping the happy look on their face when they was alive is enough for me.

I don't think it's very kosher, but, like you, I've seen it! That's why I want cremation (direct)...I don't want my family and friends to see me dead, much less take pictures!!!!!
