Thanks Guys especially Andy153.
I have no qualms about doing the ceremony, and am honoured that this person has asked me. Doing a bit of surfing I noted that it seems to be a big thing in the US, where they seem to treat it as part of life's bigger picture. Here in the UK it's treated with a bit more reserve.
I have thought it through and to the greater extent decided to go with the 70-200 F2.8 taking them from a distance, no in your face which I feel would be too intrusive. The family concerned are SriLankan and the funeral will take place at one of our local churches.
In a strange way I am looking forward to a challenge and something different to a wedding or christening.
