Funeral Photography

A funeral can mean so many things; it is saying farewell to a mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, wife, husband, partner, friend or work colleague.

A time for everyone to unite to remember their loved one.

A funeral is a unique gathering of people who are there not just to mourn the persons passing but also to celebrate their life.

Phil provides this very special bespoke service for clients who have experienced a bereavement and

wish to record the funeral day in visual images.

Phil will take all photographs in a reportage style with respect and sensitivity.

This is an event that touches everyones lives, so please consider this thought;

It might be better to have photographs that you put away and not look at

than to want photographs that were never taken.

Phil will work closely with immediate family members to ensure that everything that is asked for is achieved.
The following can be included;

Restoration of a favourite photograph of the deceased for the order of service booklet.

Photographs of the deceased, if requested.

Photographs of the hearse or carriage / floral tributes / memorial stone.

The wake.

Special aspects from that persons life,

such as their possessions, their home and garden, can also be visually recorded.

Photographic prints of your loved ones service, grave or memorial can be a comfort for those older relatives or friends who are unable to attend the service.

If the service is held within the London Borough of Newham, there is a minimum order of
20 (twenty) prints*

Phil was one of the first in the UK** to offer this specialism, photographing his first funeral in 2003 and now has a deep wealth of experience.
