Her funeral was sizeable, not as big as this one of course, but big, and pictures of the gathering were not only welcome but encouraged. A lot of people who hadn't seen each other in years were there commiserating and catching up with one another. Her death was sad but she got the funeral she certainly would have wanted.
A turnout like your friend's had deserves a few pics to commemorate it.

Sorry about your cousin, I've been lucky, all my cousins are still with us and I got to see a few of them for the first time in 10 years at my wedding.
In my circle, if someone dies, we aim towards celebrating their life. Not the mourning of the loss. There was a lot of hugging, hand shakes and phone numbers exchanged. My friend was a catalyst of friendship, which is why he had so many friends.
The orange bike in the second photo is my bike. The black trunk on the back was actually from my friends bike. I'm going to have it painted to color match my bike and put his name on it. Keep that as long as I own the bike, which may be a long time since I really love that bike.
And yes, taking pictures for those that couldn't make it or just wanted to remember the event is always encouraged.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
