but the small family only funerals just seems too intimate and sad to want to capture.
Yeah, I think that would be kind of weird... But I know people do it. I've even seen late night ads for an "exciting new career in funeral photography" before. It was sort of being billed as an untapped market.

Interesting that they wanted photos of all the flowers. Hmmm. I understand your feelings.Just a couple of weeks ago, I was requested to photograph the flowers during the visitation for my mother-in-law's funeral. I was very uncomfortable. However when I arrived I found a sister-in-law packing her Nikon. Not only did she grab photos of all the flowers, but she took photos of mom in the casket. I did shoot about 3 shots from a distance of this, only and I mean only because the sisters wanted a photo of the flowers on the casket. Sadly it was open.
Told my wife afterwards how I felt, and that if someone wanted to hire me to shoot a funeral my reply would be "you can't afford me", sorry I just don't.

My thoughts about why ppl would want photos of this are changing. When u think about it, if you are one of the closer ppl to the deceased, you're crying ...comforting others...you're honestly missing the day so maybe photos can help you see the day through another point of view. I'm guessing but idk.
