Guide to Funerals - Funeral for a Friend: Photographer

Funeral for a Friend: Photographer

If you are into photography yourself, shoot photos of your friend’s favorite place around town, favorite things and favorite people. Ask your friend’s family to have them displayed in your friend’s funeral home viewing room so everyone may remember his/her favorite things.
If you are not into photography simply display black-and-white photos of your friend in his/her best moments with friends and family. You may ask your friend’s siblings for these photos so you can just easily reprint them in black and white.
Make a photo collage of your friend’s best photo works or shots and re-copy it into a poster. Place it on a stand beside your friend’s coffin.
