I was once at the place collecting the ash after cremation.
A family approached me to take a family photo with the ash.
OUt of habit, I say 1, 2, 3, cheeeeeese.
And they all did.
:bigeyes:
luckily for you they didn't mind....

Yah I dont understand this either. Why do people want to capture the funerals and get a set of photos which you most likely would not want to look at it again?:dunno:
I even saw videographer at funeral before.
iRaphael;4918981 Some of the family members will choose to pose with the deceased. They would not be smiling (most of the time). So the best thing to say is "Ready said:this one very tricky lay. it is more or less drilled into photog mind to say "1, 2, 3 smile / cheese".

for some people, seeing or taking about dead as a taboo, of course will not want to remember about it.Yah I dont understand this either. Why do people want to capture the funerals and get a set of photos which you most likely would not want to look at it again?:dunno:

even if you don't believe such things, you have to respect the family of the deceased and follow the taboo.isn't there some taboo during a chinese funeral, like we are not supposed to look when they nail the coffin, or when they carry the coffin up the hearse? so as a photographer, it would do yourself good to follow such taboo.
unless you totally do not believe such things.
