Heartfelt Funeral Photography
Treasured memories captured with care and consideration by CeremonyCast’s professional funeral photographer
Just as we full our phones and photo albums with the everyday moments of life and laughter, it’s just as important to capture the big moments of love and loss.
Funeral photography documents your family history for current and future generations. Families tell us our photographs provide a treasured collection of moments to look back on, many of which were missed in the emotion of the day. Being able to reflect on the funeral, in your own time when you feel ready, helps with healing. And the value of these images only increases in the months and years afterwards, helping to tell the story of someone’s life and preserve precious memories.
Funerals bring people together from far and wide, often reuniting people who’ve not been in the same room for many years. We also join you for the post-ceremony wake to capture this unique gathering of friends and family. It’s a chance to take some candid and group photos in a more relaxed setting which gives a much-needed balance to the earlier emotion of the day.

Funeral Photography FAQ
What’s included in your Funeral Photography package?
Our photography service starts as people arrive, documenting the hearse, coffin, signing table, floral tributes etc. During the ceremony we carefully and discreetly capture all the important and meaningful details – such as the procession, the eulogies and tributes, the personal symbols, the location and the attendees. After the ceremony we take more photos as the hearse departs. For memorials with no coffin present, we have an eye for capturing the different focal points this kind of ceremony provides.
The photographer also attends the wake to capture the celebration of life, balancing the more difficult emotions of earlier in the day. The photographer is present for 1.5 hours at the ceremony and 1.5 hours at the wake.
We then prepare your gallery, individually selecting and editing photos. Some moments may be presented in black and white at the artistic discretion of the photographer. The private online gallery will be curated with 7 to 10 days and a link sent to the family for viewing, sharing, downloading and printing. You can expect around 250 photos.
What is your approach to taking funeral photos?
Our funeral photographer has extensive experience helping families to record the events and emotions of funerals. We understand the unique considerations and challenges of such sensitive situations. We work unobtrusively with much care, respect and discretion, always mindful of our presence and the needs and wishes of those around. We’ll be guided by you over who, what and when you want us to photograph.
Can you photograph the burial as well?
Yes we can. We’ll work with you to make sure every element that you need is taken care of.
