I've seen pics of funerals before and clicked past, thinking nothing more than "that's a bit intrusive."
Last week lost someone close to me, very sudden. I found out by seeing it on the paper's fb feed, which was a cruel shock in the first place. I was contacted by the family about 2 hours later. Social media is faster.
The funeral was very difficult. Awful. And there are pictures of it splashed across social media and the paper. I am furious at the fucking vulture behaviour. How can you just stand there and photograph people's grief? "Interviews" saying that friends and family are devastated (ooh, shocker!) and would like their privacy respected... How about doing that?
How is it in the public interest? It was bad enough, but to read comments by the barely-knew-her, and all the salacious details spread out in all their gossipy glory, this feels like an invasion. Pictures of her fucking coffin? Filthy, soulless bastards.

AIBU?
To think that funerals are not news, and shouldn't be in the fucking paper?
