It's not about the photo. It's about people having the ability to remember your face, your mannerisms, your essence after you are gone. Because memories fade.

Also LPT: If you don't want your image used to remember you by, give your family something else. Samples of your writing or words. Photos of your favorite places or things. Or an audio recording.
The whole point of photos is to have something left of the person after they are gone. Having no photos of your loved one is a very tough thing to deal with while one is in mourning.
