How to photograph a funeral
Be sure that it is appropriate for you to go ahead and act as photographer at a funeral.
Simply assuming that it's okay to photograph a funeral is not appropriate. You either need to be asked to do so, or to ask for permission to do so.

-There are many popular wedding photographers out there that display their photographs, but you should certainly be given a little respect regardless. Don't always take pictures yourself if you are signing up for a job, as it's a professional matter and the photographer won't be happy when you're not.
-Realize that photographing funerals is still not very typical, so it may be considered odd by many people attending the funeral. Some reasons as to why you might be photographing the funeral include : You may have been asked to capture memories for the sake of interstate or overseas relatives unable to attend the funeral.
-Know what to avoid, and be aware of exactly what to avoid. For instance, if someone has suffered serious illness, or suggests that you act as a dentist at their funeral, do not use this to your advantage, as this will only create unnecessary clutter and reduce focus on the deceased.
-Purchase or borrow some photos of activities. Think about the type of decorations and people you're photographing.
