Funeral Photography

 

Phil provides this very special bespoke service for clients who have experienced a bereavement and wish to capture the funeral day in images.


A funeral can mean so many things.

It is about saying farewell to a father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, aunt or uncle, friend or work colleague.

A time for everyone to unite, and, a time to remember.


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


The following can be included;

Restoration of a favourite photograph of the deceased for the Order of service.

Photographs of the deceased, if requested.

Photographs of the hearse or carriage.

Photographs of the floral tributes.

The memorial stone.

The wake.

Special aspects from the persons life,

such as their possessions, home and garden.


Photographic prints of your loved ones grave or memorial can be helpful for those older relatives or friends who are perhaps physically unable to visit the cemetery.


Phil will take all photographs with respect and dignity.


You may be surprised to learn that there is no charge for Phils attendance, and local travel costs within the London Borough of Newham are also free*


Clients only pay for prints and any post production (editing / retouching / restoration work**)

(See Prices page for full details)


Phil politely requests a minimum of two weeks (14 days) prior notice of the funeral, so you can be accommodated.
