22.01.2022 A funeral book is an integral part of my service as it is a memento, it can be part of the healing process, it lets family and friends overseas see the funeral and it is rich in its imagery.

22.01.2022 A Noongar funeral wake in Perth.

22.01.2022 From Mikael Colville-Andersen "the last journey by bike" for one of the founders' parents of Cycling Without Age. What could be a better, and most beautiful, send off by these amazing people? Thank you for sharing.

19.01.2022 Funeral books are the most important service I provide families. Ive never really known how to promote them. Its hard enough for most families to understand the value of funeral photography and Ive felt it would be a bridge too far to explain funeral books. However, as soon as someone sees a funeral book and opens its pages they immediately appreciate its value. This is the front cover of my most recent funeral book. The portrait is of Richard whom I photographed at his wifes funeral four years ago. Now it is his funeral. The family used my portrait for his order of service which deeply touched me. So lovely to think that my portrait was able to capture him as they wanted. #funeralbook

18.01.2022 A beautiful post. "One breakfast, our daughter asked us if we could try to limit the crying hours, perhaps to daylight hours. She said it so nicely that we laughed."

17.01.2022 And now an image from a wake that might challenge many people‘s perceptions of funeral photography. So often people turn up their nose when I say I am a funeral photographer. They ask Do people really want that? All they can think of is people crying. But this image from a wake last Friday is about grieving through shared joyful experiences, it’s about confirming that the life wasn’t wasted but lived to the full. #funeral #funeralphoto

12.01.2022 "Funerals are too important not to be photographed."

12.01.2022 My funeral photography is discrete and unobtrusive. I never pose people unless asked. I work without flash whenever possible.

12.01.2022 The widow and her sister at the wake. Who said funeral photography has to be grim? #rethinkingdeath #funeralphoto

11.01.2022 Sobering article about the costs of funerals but also, guess which song was most chosen at funerals in 2019?

10.01.2022 Funerals are a time to reminisce and tell stories. What's the best thing you remember about someone you loved?

10.01.2022 We've photographed a range of funerals, from traditional, to Maori, to Italian, to Aboriginal. Check out some of the personalised moments we've captured. https://thefuneralphotographer.com.au/funeral-photography-/

08.01.2022 An article about us by ABC back in 2017.

07.01.2022 As mourners look on as the coffin is loaded into the hearse, all feeling sad, some feeling their own mortality,the next generation is oblivious as the little boy plays. Incidentally, this is a crop of a triptych , well, three photos melded together to create a panorama.

06.01.2022 Love and hugs to everybody!

06.01.2022 Sharing hope amid grief. I hope you're all staying healthy, self isolated and keeping hope alive.

05.01.2022 This image pretty much expresses why I am a funeral photographer. To be able to capture humanity stripped of all its artifice and thereby revealing nothing but love motivates me every time I pick up a camera. #funeralphoto

05.01.2022 A Filipino funeral at St. Michael the Archangel Rookwood.

05.01.2022 The funeral industry is very conservative. It was lovely to be presented with a slideshow at the beginning of the service instead of the end as has been the case with every other funeral I’ve ever photographed. By beginning the service with such a positive overview, it signalled to the mourners this was about celebrating Barry‘s life. In short, I highly recommend slide shows to kick off celebrating a life lived to the full.... #rethinkingfunerals #funeralphotos

04.01.2022 An excerpt from The Daily Telegraph: "AT FIRST, John Slaytor thought the request a little unusual. One of his neighbours, knowing Mr Slaytor was a photographer - weddings, parties, you name it - asked him to photograph his uncle's funeral. Mr Slaytor, from Waverton in Sydney, has since photographed two other funerals and believes he may be Australia's first professional funeral photographer. He says that funerals, especially for older people who've had a good innings, can be ...uplifting occasions worth documenting for posterity. "I find with shooting weddings it's a bit like being in a war zone," says Mr Slaytor. "There are two families often competing with each other, there's a tension. "Funerals can be joyful. They can be really nice events and there's a very good-natured atmosphere. It's not about consumption, it's not about how much money is being spent. It's about thinking about someone."

02.01.2022 Another positive innovation from a funeral this week. Writing on the coffin before the beginning of the funeral service helps both the mourner and the family to grieve. #rethinkingfunerals #funeral
