They were all in one location and made the best of it. There would be no reason for you to be in the photos, considering she was the mother of the children.

She is their mother, and perhaps this is the only time she’s seen them in some time. It would have better for them to go to lunch and take family photos somewhere else.

Anytime there is a divorce and a person was remarried, the ex spouse simply needs to not be noticeable if they attend a funeral or memorial service.

I’m sorry this happened to you, and I completely understand why you would be upset. Especially with adult children, the photos could have been scheduled for another time that was not directly following the memorial service, and certainly not in a way that is hurtful to you.
