Walter Burns asks Aug 08, 2008 10:45PM Is it crass to bring a camera to a funeral? I'm just sayin' bows not the time for flash photos!
Walter Burns says Aug 08, 2008 10:48PM and...am I wrong for plurking during said service?? It didn't start yet though
Walter Burns Aug 08, 2008 10:48PM and I won't be on once it starts. I just thought the camera was an oddity...
Walter Burns says Aug 08, 2008 10:53PM and this is a Caribbean-styled funeral; MUCH different than the Yankee ones I'm used to. Whoa!
gwensutton says Aug 08, 2008 11:12PM well, walterburns, i've taken more than camera the whole nine yards, videos and all, was paid quite well also.
gwensutton says Aug 08, 2008 11:14PM military man had passed and family wanted video and pics of everything. the most moving part was the military tribute at the ned.
gwensutton says Aug 08, 2008 11:15PM end. each fold of the flag was shot and end with the wife receiving the flag.
gwensutton says Aug 08, 2008 11:15PM scared my ownself-when the gun salute was done i was directly in front of the guys with camera up oh what a view
LEMills says Aug 09, 2008 12:29AM ...imagine (before I hit the return key) is that someone want proof of death, maybe? Depends on whether it's still or video.
LEMills says Aug 09, 2008 12:29AM and that was just a sarcastic comment. Sometimes it's the only time family gets together. If a gathering, then pictures ensue.
LEMills Aug 09, 2008 12:31AM (In my family, the funerals are going to be a lot more frequent than the other events at this point in time, sad to say)
LEMills needs Aug 09, 2008 01:06AM to clarify: wouldn't dream of taking a pic at all during a service or at any time except the post-burial gathering.
latoyasutton says Aug 09, 2008 01:13AM I don't see why people want to take pictures of someone in a coffin. I hate it when someone walks up taking 50 pictures.
latoyasutton says Aug 09, 2008 01:13AM However, when my pastor died, they made a dvd of her funeral. But, the cameras were not visible during the service.
