Lutheran Funerals: Church funerals

» biogardener - Church funerals

Fortunately, most funeral parlors are way too small for funerals, and yes, in the churches, the ladies take control of the lunch, and they know what kind of food the congregation prefers. The funeral parlors are taking advantage of the grief of families, persuading them that they are well equipped to look after everything, when they don't even have the space to seat half the attendees who then have to listen to the service from another room. They also have an arrangement with one certain caterer who does not allow for ethnic variety. I have seen the identical sandwiches served in all funeral parlors in Winnipeg, and in every case, the few dark bread sandwiches got eaten first, and no one wanted the white bread sandwiches.

Maybe these disasters will prompt people to make sure ahead of dying that the style and place of their funeral is nailed down in their will and in directives to their family and pastor.

Even my son has told me what kind of funeral celebration he wants in case he dies before me.
