You heard right, for a generation that has grown up burdened with the dilemma of which filter most makes their breakfast look like it was being eaten in the 1950s, taking a selfie at a funeral is now a thing.

A blog compiled by @heyfeifer has begun faithfully charting all the mournful self-portraits, which include people showing off their funeral outfits, gurning in the pews and generally having a LOL AWKWARD #FAMILY time.

Here is a selection of the most soul-wounding selfies so far:

1. Are you: a) sad, b) ‘rocking out’, or c) Flava Flav?

2. ‘Shame about the dead person, but how great do my curls look today?’

3. The wake: a time for reflection, reverence, remembrance and totes awkward jpegs of your mates!

4. Sorry Grandpa, but your #Funeral obviously comes three places behind the #Bathroom. #DysonAirblade #DecentSizedMirror #DopeSoap

5. This young man was later seen ‘smashing’ the buffet and ‘cremating the s***’ out of the ashes.

6. …Except there probably isn’t a Hell, so more likely you’re going on a very large server filled with pointless selfies that should probably be detonated for the good of mankind.

7. ‘But funeral *alien face*’. ‘BUT FUNERAL *ALIEN FACE*’.

8. LOLOLOLOL Grandma would be so mad but it’s fine she is no longer of this world.

9. Organ-based requiems are booooooooring, haven’t you heard Disclosure’s new jam?

10. Sadface pout is crucial to reflect the sombre atmosphere. 3, 2, 1 – say ‘death!’

11. ‘This mirror filter perfectly reflects my sadness on this day. I am both within and without. Probably! #LOL’

12. If anyone wears a 4in Burberry tie to my funeral I’m reanimating and burning the place to the ground.
