I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I have unfortunately been to a few family funerals and they have been in churches so people do not take photos in a church. It is always strange when you have not been to a funeral before because on top of the sadness and grief you don't really know what to expect and that makes it harder but don't worry, there is nothing you can do wrong. Also I found the time leading up to the funeral was the hardest time. Funerals are sad but once you have celebrated the person's life and laid them to rest it feels sort of like you have done your best for them. And although you still feel sad and miss them just as much it helps toknow you got to say a proper goodbye.

Oh I am sorry for your lost of your grandfather. There is nothing wrong with taking pictures. My husband did a special tribute for his mother. She passed away after the lost of cancer. The doctors gave her a week cause it was terminal. 2 weeks after his mom he did his grandmothers too. People may think it is rude but I don't think it is rude.

You should.
