Default Funeral photography...?

This is something i had never really given much thought until i was recently asked to take photos at the memorial service of my mate. During the service i felt almost disrespectful, and perhaps even rude. I felt like to people, it would appear like i was in some way trying to make money out of the death of my friend. While really i was trying to capture the moment, as a fitting tribute to the passing of a great mate. I also found the noise of my dslr really loud, when everyone else was quite. Perhaps i was just being paranoid, but has anyone else experienced something similar?

How you handle a situation like this? Is there a correct ettiquete, so as not to appear disrespectful?
