I took one of my brother in his casket, as I hadn't seen him in over 20 years and wanted to look at him as long as I needed to, without anyone watching me. When I'd looked at it enough, a year or so later, I deleted it from my camera.<br /><br />I find your pictures very moving, Karen.Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82981007971127798.post-54806013948121997812013-10-02T02:34:16.037-06:002013-10-02T02:34:16.037-06:00I had an uncle that videoed my father's funera...I had an uncle that videoed my father's funeral and I was able to watch it later as I wasn't able to attend. At the time I think people felt it was cold, but for my uncle it was natural (he's a filmmaker by profession)... He understood the need to document the event and for that I was truly grateful.

I've wanted to take mine a few times, but, as you say, people seem to think it's disrespectful. These photos are beautiful!<br /><br />(And on another note, I hope you and your family are safe -- been thinking about you this morning.)Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82981007971127798.post-10053774863615959712013-09-12T17:23:11.043-06:002013-09-12T17:23:11.043-06:00Beautiful and very meaningful photos, Karen!
