Funerals
21 Answers
Since when did it become customary to have photographs of the deceased on the Order of Service at the funeral and sometimes placed on the coffin?
Answers
Not customary at all. Funerals should be a simple occasion in my opinion. People just change things about and like to make it a celebration, and organise it like they would a wedding! hence, photo's everywhere. I mean, people attending the funeral would already know what the deceased looked like, why the need for a photo on every order of service.

I think its personal choice. I think its nice to see pictures of the person that has passed away, taken at different times during their life. I think its nice to hear an Eulogy about the deceased persons life, what I find difficult to bear is when people dress in bright colours for a funeral. Personally I find that hard, if I am feeling sad and bereaved then I like to wear dark colours, but again sometimes the bright colour is what the family or, the deceased, has wanted. So the whole thing is a matter of choice.
