[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was very kind of them all to come to the service. Not all inlaws are that  considerate.

Ask your husband to store his photo away in a closet. a
And try to forget about it. If it were me, I would only say something to the inlaws if they asked why you aren't displaying the photo. I'd start with explaining that the photo only reminds you of your mother's death. If they push back or act defensive, "Well Jane, what did you expect? I associate that day with mourning, not a happy family photo op." [/quote]

Just because it was a funeral doesn't mean that people cannot be happy about other things.  There should be laughter and smiles just as there will be tears and sadness.  It is all part of life and death.[/quote]

It's a family photo of the inlaws. The photo isn't in honor of or remembrance of her mom. It's not even a photo of the family members. Yes, there are often laughter and smiles at a funeral, but in relation to the deceased and her family. [/quote]
