My Father died on the 29th of October. We just buried him on the 4th. My eldest daughter just posted "funeral pictures" on Facebook yesterday. This is very disturbing to me that someone would put these pictures on the internet at all, much less a place like Facebook! Am I wrong to feel this hurt? My emotions are still so very raw!! Please tell me if what I am feeling is justified! Help!!

As for me it is just as good to send it as message to those friends who knew him, because what is the use of posting it to the wall since a lot of those in Facebook do not know him and possibly comic his picture.

Hi. PSmith721. Yes, this is wrong! And it is unethical too! I would not want anyone to see my father's pictures as he is deceased. These pictures should be kept in a hidden private family album, where only the family and close friends can view. I am sorry that this has happened, because after losing your father I am sure that you don't want to see something as this. This is unjustifiable.

I am sorry to hear of your lose, I lost my dad to a couple of years ago and I was the biggest Daddys girl! Its still very hard. Every peson is so dif on this picture matter. I found that some people get really offended if anyone even takes pictures and others insist on it! It really is hard to say whats right or wrong. If she knew you were offended she would prob take them down so Im sure it was not intentional to hurt you. Just like I was saying some people do not see it that way. Either way dont let it pose an issue between you because you need each other at a time like this and I hope it all works out. My prayers go out to you and your family for comfort
