Please Don’t Say These Six Things at My Funeral

[JM]

A good read.

"There will come a day, perhaps sooner, perhaps later, when the man in the coffin will be me. They say the dead don’t care, but I’m not dead yet, so as long as I’m still alive, I’d like to have some say in what goes on at my funeral. And, truth be told, I think the dead do care. Not that they will be privy to the details of what happens at their own funerals, but they still care about the world, about their family, about the church. The saints in heaven continue to pray for those who are still on their earthly pilgrimage, so how could they not care about them?"

Yes those 6 things are true, but often people need to be reminded that "Chad" is no longer there. The Body is what Chad used for his soul to redise in while living on Earth. However it is hard to understand how that will be as we can not imagine what death feels like until we die. There is an amount of fear involved in death, even for those with great faith. That's my.

Yours in the Lord,

There is one more.
Don't he just look so natural? As if he is just lying there asleep.
If anyone had ever seen me 'just lying there asleep' with my head reared back, my mouth wide open, and dry, snoring like a lion roaring, they wouldn't say that.
