My thoughts were "The silence of the grave" and few moments in life tend to be less full of chatter than when you are putting flowers, or dirt onto the coffin of a friend.
As far a getting a different angle, I didn't feel it was appropriate to jump down onto the coffin.
The feeling I get from this image is one of lost hope, being forlorn, love lost,despair, broken dreams etc. but not of "Silence' The image has been well executed though. 5
