Why have a photographer at a farewell?

1. To Preserve Family History
Funerals bring together generations who may not gather often. Photos become part of a family’s story — a record of people supporting one another during a meaningful moment.

2. To Honour the Person’s Life
Images can capture the tributes, rituals, keepsakes, and personal touches that celebrate who the person was. These details may be hard to take in fully during the day itself.

3. For Loved Ones Who Can’t Be There
Some family members live far away, are unwell, or simply can’t travel. Photos allow them to feel included and connected.

4. To Remember the Love and Support
In grief, people often forget how surrounded they were by compassion. Photos can gently remind them of the hands held, hugs shared, and moments of togetherness.

5. To Help With Healing
Looking back at images — when they’re ready — can be part of the grieving process. It can help people process the reality of the loss in their own time.

6. To Capture Personal Legacies
Many funerals include displays: photos, letters, meaningful items, flowers, cultural traditions. These elements are part of the loved one’s legacy.

7. To Allow the Family to Be Fully Present
A photographer allows family members to stay focused on the ceremony, emotions, and each other without feeling the need to document the day themselves.

8. To Create Something Respectful and Beautiful
Thoughtful, unobtrusive photography can shine a gentle light on a difficult day — capturing not the pain, but the love.
