When the family goes in to plan the funeral with the director, they could tell him what options of photography they want. Ex: Before everyone gets there, the speakers, carrying the casket, or some other options. Where do you live? I want to try this too. You could also try to go to alot of funeral houses so you would always have business.


There wouldn't be much money in it, its would be a dead end job.. I thankya.


The funeral industry is a billion dollar industry so I can't see it not paying.

One good thing about it from a photographer's pov -- you wouldn't have to worry about motion blur from the subject.

Like someone else said, this would probably be okay if the family requested it, but I, personally, am too weirded out at funerals anyway. Don't think I could take pictures. (And I have been to a lot of funerals where I had no idea who anyone was -- my husband, and some members of his family, get asked to sing at funerals alot).

I haven't taken photos at a funeral, but I have made several "remembrance" slide shows to be played at the funeral. Only problem is the very short notice to scan a bunch of pictures then present them in a program like Pinnacle. Funeral home must have TV and DVD or VHS player. I've gotten many compliments.

For those looking for the big bucks on this, many people then want copies of the DVD (which is the easiest part of the process!)

The DVD part is easy and I could do it right on the spot if needed via laptop. The only down side is that it wouldn't be printed or look appealing because it would just be a disk. Maybe a pre-printed disk with photo or something on it.

Where I come from (Lithuania) we always had funeral photos, generally groups of relatives around the casket, the procession, and the funeral itself, and then later, the headstone. Now that I'm in the States I don't see that happening.
