At or after the funeral is the time to share pictures and memories. There's everything right about that. Nothing wrong with it. I've never had anyone go through pics on my phone, though, without asking.

I've always called the "before funeral" part a wake or visitation. I've heard the "after burial" function called a repast, reception, gathering, continued celebration of life... I don't know what the proper name is, but when we do it, there's usually a lot of alcohol involved and sharing of great stories about the deceased. Untimely passings are not usually as celebratory, though.
