Is it more respectful to use more current photos of people who have died? Or is it better to use photos from their "prime"? - eviltoast

Just had this thought and I’m caught between the two. Assuming anything being considered were all “good” photos, what would you prefer if it were you?

*Lots of great responses! I do want to clarify that I am not currently dealing with this scenario myself, but I appreciate the thoughtful comments. Hopefully they can help people that are struggling. I know I’ll keep them in mind for the future.

    Option A) Do what the deceased would have wanted Option B) pick the most embarrassing picture you can find. Like that picture of them throwing up in college or when they were five and got their head stuck in the playground ladder.
