Any informed Christian who has witnessed a Masonic funeral service would not call it “Christian”.

And why is that? Do you speak from first hand knowledge? Are all FM funerals like what you infer?

You must mean the “Lodge of Sorrow”, and the graveside service that follows it.

I cannot understand where you would find it objectionable: it is a deeply moving service. Though it is not overtly “Christian” it is certainly not something that Christians ought to find offensive or contrary to Christian teaching.

There is nothing overtly Christian about a military funeral service, either. It works equally well for Christians, Jews, agnostics, atheists, or anyone buried in honor having served their Country. You surely could have no objection to military funeral services. On what basis could you possibly object to Masonic services?
