It is certainly disrespectful to take photos of people at a funeral without asking their permission. If permission is granted, take care not to be obvious about picture-taking (i.e. disable noises from the camera and turn off flash). Otherwise, it is permissible to the extent that it would be permissible to take pictures at any religious funeral.

Additionally, since funerals do not take place on Saturdays or other Jewish Holidays, the prohibition on working (which would prevent "taking photographs") is not applicable.

What do you do at a Jewish funeral?

Jewish funerals take place as soon after death as possible, ideally within 24 hours. At the ceremony, prayers are said for the deceased and the rabbi officiating the ceremony discusses the deceased's life. Sometimes family members and friends will choose to talk about the deceased also. The casket is normally a plain wood box without any embellishment or metal. The reason for this is that Jewish law requires the body to be returned to the earth so decomposition cannot be impeded in any way. During the burial itself, the tradition is for all people present, including immediate family to place at least one shovel full of dirt in the grave as this is seen as a way of honouring the deceased.
