Would you post photographs of a funeral to a web site?


It should come as no surprise to us that our most intimate moments are the least likely to be incorporated quickly into our digital lives. After years of daily e-mail use I still feel uncomfortable sending a condolence letter this way and prefer snail mail. I don't have to be convinced that it shouldn't matter how we express our sympathy, but somehow it seems that it does.

Numerous people at Avraham's funeral thought it strange that the forum members who attended photographed a number of aspects of the funeral. When I noticed this happening I guessed (correctly) that they were preparing to post those photos to the forum. To me it made sense to prepare a digital report on the funeral for people whose contact with Avraham had been solely through a digital medium.
