I think it is always poor taste to take pictures of people in pain and mental anguish-but that is the way of the press. I include the front page pictures of car crash victims and bodies covered with tarps on the road which crop up all the time in our local paper. Some people love to see this type thing-I am not one.
Work in Progress!

I'm not one of them either IMO this was their own private pain and it should have stayed that way.
You ask how long I love you, I'll tell you true,
until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you

Yes, but think of the alternative. Photographers vying for pics over the Graceland walls, fighting for pics at the funeral and elsewhere, making life uncomfortable.
Doing it this way was the lesser of two evils. The same principle is used by stars today when they release one or two free pics to the media of, say, their new kid. That way, the value of any other paparazzi-type pics is reduced to next to nothing.
Same deal here. The raw, close up pics taken inside Graceland would be better than anything else: and they were officially sanctioned and monitored.

The photos were by Memphis Press-Scimitar photographer James Reid, although he's not the family friend I was thinking of.
