[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think they did any of this to be malicious, but it is in extremely poor taste. Who takes photos at a funeral? Disrespectful, IMO. [/quote]

I think sometimes it's a good idea.  I went to a family funeral with my Dad and his cousin was there.  He hadn't seen her in a LONG time, and she doesn't live close by.  They are the only 2 of their generation left.  So I did ask to snap a photo of them.  The family member who died was 80, and though it was sudden, he would have heartily approved.  Funerals are really for the living.  No one is pretending it was a terrific reason to get together, but honestly the reason I went is because I may never see that arm of the family again without the "link" person alive. So it was sort of a goodbye thing too.  Like some last memories with these people who are sort of distant relatives.  Some spread out and extended families only see each other at weddings and funerals, so I can see some reasoning.

Now I realize OP's feelings are really hurt by this.  And I'd have her DH ask to have the photo tucked away during the visit.  Especially if you will only be visiting twice a year.
