Subject: difference in a Christians funeral? |
Bible Note: EdB: I have instructed my family and pastor I want the Christian flag placed on my casket. As well I want a pine box made by my friends who are Mennonite the ones that use horse and buggies. We have a few close friends who are Mennonites. My wife and I are called English. We have nurtured our friendship for nearly 18 years. We have been blessed by our unique relationship. They have agreed to make my very simple casket, and to use their horse and buggy funeral carriage. I have instructed my pastor what I want to be said. I will also have he Military part as the final part at the burial. I feel the funeral industry has made death such a money making time to drain the family, and put the family into debt for years of payments, that is a shame. I think. I have done enough funerals and seen family's spend money for a special pillow, or brass, and costly fine woods, brass vaults, super sealing caskets, even talking pictures of the person buried there. I want to GLORIFY JESUS CHRIST even in my funeral. I love what Ruth Graham did with a simple casket, and with the words "end of construction, thank you for your patients". Iwould never tell my family not to cry, as that is good grief. I am not in a hurry to go to be with Jesus as I have many friends to still tell them about Jesus Christ, but that's under His control. Blessings EdB justme For me I am with Jesus and my body will wait for Jesus return. |
