Will photos decorate your funeral, memorial, or wake?

[John Kasaian]

Niether. Why associate your creative work with your death? Why be remembered by one more view of Half Dome? Your mourners may be grateful to see a photo of the decedent (if only to reassure them they aren't at the wrong funeral, like maybe the funeral of some one with the same name as yours, lol!)
Of course if you're a successful photographer it might help spike the prices for your heir's welfare. They could even sell prints out the back of the hearse "while the edition lasts"

I used to be the biz of tossing "cremains" out of airplanes. There is a device fabricated out of the heavy cardboard tubing carpets came rolled up on to get the cremains out into the slipstream sos not to get sucked back into the low pressure cockpit. The device was called the "ash hole"
Yeah, lets not go there

I still can't stomach looking at a bowl of Grapenuts cereal.

My "mourners" will probably get envelopes containing cash since they'll be from "rent-a-crowd"...

[Old-N-Feeble]

Yeah, me too RickV. Old single pharts UNITE!!

I don't plan on being there so I really don't care.

[kurtdriver]

I don't plan to attend, so I don't really have any feelings on the subject.

The average age around here is 49 years

In six weeks I become average, I was hoping to avoid that.

I never really thought about my pictures being part of my funeral. Now that I do think about it, I don't like the idea. My pictures are the expression of my life and I would rather not have them associated with my death.

I have expressed 2 wishes after I die: first, don't cremate me. It seems an ignominious end for a firefighter. Second, I want a Jimmy Buffett song played at my funeral that borrows lines from the a Mark Twain book: "be good and you will be lonesome/be lonesome and you will be free/live a lie and you will regret it/that's what living is to me, that's what living is to me."

Are you going to sign them before you go?

As opposed to what - signing them after you go? And will they be signed on the front, or in verso? Ink or pencil?

I’m curious if you’ll instruct your survivors to display LF photos at your funeral service or wake? The average age around here is 49 years, so this must have crossed your mind at least once.

Some people request songs be played – it would seem natural that people here would ask that certain prints be displayed.

If so, would they be your prints – or if images taken by others, which ones and why?

What would you want the image(s) to communicate?

How & where would you display them? Landscapes? Portraits?

Finally, anyone taking a print (or two) “with them”?

I certainly hope not. My photos are very private, I display only two of them and rarely show the rest to anyone, and then only when asked.

Heroique, you certainly come up with some odd questions...

Also, I'd like to point out that age 49 is the average age of those who have given their ages. I'm above average... (winking smiley)
