With the advent of mobiles with cameras and video facilities it has become common to click pictures and video record events, places, people etc. But there is a limit. Nowadays many do not have common sense or responsible behaviour and click pictures and stream online in real-time all that transpires at crematoriums and cemeteries. Understandable that all the family members may be unable to attend the funeral and hence, streaming could help them to watch. In the obituary column, some families provide link to the solemn occasion. This could be confined within the family circle and at home, instead of publishing the link in newspapers and make it a public affair. It would be appreciable if concerned authorities paste notices at crematoriums and cemeteries informing the people to refrain from clicking pictures and making reels of a solemn event. Let us respect the deceased persons, even if they were not during their lifetime nor even visited/remembered by relatives and friends.
