When shooting funerals, should you tell people to smile?

If your subject is in a casket it will probably make little difference. Personally I never ask people to smile anyway, it's just a waste of time.

You should help them feel bad by asking them why they aren't crying.

I was told by an Irish friend a long time ago the only difference between Irish weddings and funerals was 1 less person partying.
