just received a call to do a funeral service for someone completely unknown to me & the parish. What words? What theme? What charity?
my grandma was unknown to the priest
he found out we had a family bar
he talked about Cheers where everyone knows your name
it was very lame
then my Uncle had a rent-a-deacon
piece of advice #1. get the name of the deceased right.

Okay... sounds like don't pander to those present and know who you are praying for. Good words. Thanks. t
purgatory is always a good thing, prayers for the deceased, etc
Church militant, suffering, triumphant
