There are three reasons we go to funerals. One is to express love for the person who has died, and t0 celebrate the ties that bind us together as husband and wife, parents and children, relatives and friends. The second is to express gratitude to God for how that person has enriched and blessed our lives, for what she was able to accomplish with her life, and for the things that gave her joy. Finally, we go to funeral to express once more that God is present with us in our sorrow to give us the peace that only God can give, which the world cannot give, and which the world cannot take away. Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I am ordained as a minister of the Gospel, and it's my job to tell you that.
