In bad taste.

We were sent a video today via Fakebook. It was a video of a friend's Fathers' coffin being taken from the hearse and into the church. I have to admit that I was shocked!!!!
For me, this is bad taste.

What are your views?

Hi Sweet Pea

I do a lot of photography but I wouldn't have done that.
It's a personal family matter and even, had been mine, I wouldn't. Invasion of privacy comes to mind.

But share and beware.

Re: In bad taste.

Who took the video, SP? A member of the funeral party or some sick troll?

With anybody and everybody taking selfies and putting everything on FB these days, this doesn't surprise me.

I remember when my mother-in-law passed away, a message was put on FB by one of her grandchildren. My wife was horrified as some family members didn't even know she had died yet.

Some people are too wrapped up with their mobile phones these days that they have lost touch with what is right and wrong.

It was his son that took the video.
I knew his Father, it has quite disturbed me.
I can only think that grief does strange things to some people.

Re: In bad taste.

that would have really upset me if I had known him. I don't know why some people feel the need to share such things really, I bet a few viewers on their facebook were a bit disturbed by that and thinking "what the heck"
It's certainly not the sort of video I would want popping up on my facebook.

It was sent by Fake book messenger, so private, but yes I am upset by it.
I didn't like to reply saying what I wanted too, so I just deleted it. It is a strange world at times Queeny. I would not dream of doing that.
