A funeral is not for the deceased, as they are long gone. It is for the living. The deceased lo longer feel pain, but the living do. This author wants to turn his funeral into a church service, and make it about how “christian” he is. But he is most certainly making sure “it’s all about him”, when it needs to be about the living. Nothing less than virtue signaling, even after he is dead.
Sounds to me like he wants the Gospel proclaimed.
