Is OK to Film A Funeral or A Celebration Service?

Funerals and celebration services are solemn and emotionally charged events
and the decision to film it is a deeply nuanced and personal one

The shortest answer is, yes

Documenting such a sad and private occasion

might strike people as odd or disrespectful

but it was a circle of love and our love is endless

 

Recording a celebration service

can have more benefits than most people think

it captures a significant moment in your family’s life

it is about capturing the essence of the day - a feeling

 

The families do get those moments of love and grief captured

to remember the compassion and generosity shown by those gather together

and share beautiful memories, testimonials, and beautiful words of your loved ones

it also serves as a way to remember how many people loved them

 

A funeral film is a way to make those far away included on the day

It is also a way to save the moment for those who could not attend

Of course, you want to preserve the happy memories of your loved ones

But for a lasting memorial, being able to look back at the video is comforting

 

At first, it may be impossible for you to re-watch the film

When the time is right, you can turn back to the video

to remember how much your loved ones were appreciated

the positive impact they had on others’ lives

 

Revisiting these beautiful memories

can help you assimilate your loss

and help with your mourning process

so yes, it is OK to film a Funeral or a Celebration Service

 In the midst of mourning of

my darling Mum’s unexpected and sudden passing

I found comfort in the written word

the paper absorbed my tears and the pen

became the companion to my grief-stricken heart

the emotions, too overwhelming for spoken language

found refuge in the silent conversation between ink and paper "
