Planning a funeral

A friend's mum has died. Her brother is a pastor and a blogger. In a very beautiful and moving post he has five thoughts on planning her funeral (in my words):

  1. It need not follow the pattern of a usual public worship service.
  2. It should remember and acknowledge the immediate reality of her sad death.
  3. It should remember all her past life, personality and individuality.
  4. It should be infused with the joy and sweetness of God's salvation.
  5. It should look to the future, the last day and her resurrection.

Please read the post and pray a quick prayer for the family.
