[Not gonna take it anymore]

Wow, my experience at Mormon funerals has not even been close to that.

“When the family insists that several family members speak in a funeral, we hear about the deceased instead of about the Atonement, the Resurrection, and the comforting promises revealed in the scriptures. Now it’s all right to have a family member speak at a funeral, but if they do, their remarks should be in keeping with the spirit of the meeting.”

That is close to what a Catholic funeral is. It’s a Mass.

I went to four funerals last month, and they were all professing Christians of various denominations and congregations.

Some had glowing eulogies, others not quite so much.

Some had been a Christian for a VERY long time; others not so long.

But in EVERY one of the funerals; the GOSPEL was presented - by different preachers.One service even had an altar call - reaching out those in the assembled mourners who may have not had chosen Christ yet.

Sadness; yes - but even more HOPE for the future and eternity.
