Herrmann Funeral Photography

06/26/2026

Twenty years ago, my father died. His funeral brought together countless people whose lives he’d touched.

I remember almost none of it.

Not who traveled to be there. Not the faces of the people who gave speeches. And not even what the chapel looked like.

Grief blurs memories and erases details. That’s just what it does.

That’s why I became a funeral photographer.

I can’t get my father’s funeral back. But I can make sure other families don’t lose those memories.

"What I Wish I'd Known When My Father Died"

I recently published something on our website that explains why My Heritage Photo exists.

Over 20 years ago, I lost my father. We had a funeral. People traveled from across the country. But I don't have a single photo from that day.

The details have faded. The faces have blurred. And I can't get those memories back.

That's why I do this work. So other families don't experience the same regret 20 years from now.
