Scripture reading: Romans 8:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith,5 as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Hymn: It is Well With My Soul
Sermon: 1 Corinthians 15, 1-11 Now I would remind you, brothers,1 of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day pin accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Assurance of Pardon: Romans 8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

At the Grave: Military roll call. When I don’t answer, Taps
I've always been fond of the Navy's "still on patrol" designation, used when a ship was lost at sea during a time of war.
Petra, song is GRAVE ROBBER
My funeral:...
Sounds good to me.
I've done a fair bit of contemplation of this over the years, and of late.
Don't go on about me, because most people aren't going to have a clue about 80% of what I'm about, anyway.
Get death right, and get the resurrection right. And whatever is said, don't make any assertion there is no biblical warrant for.
