Your advice is appreciated!

Did you ask foe advice?

Sepia is OK for funerals. For a such a joyful event I'd come with colors.

For the lens you have selected and distance your shots have been taken, I'd advise you to look at inexpensive LED panels ($40 approx.) They work for hours on standard AA batteries, they do not flash, they do not disturb for the extend of regular flash does, and LED panel could be acceptable in your environment.
