How would you like to be remembered at your funeral or memorial
service? Perhaps you don't care although that's hard to believe.
Would you care if the officiating person even mentions your name or
anything about a few personal accomplishments or family
relationships? As an emloyee of a funeral home following retirement
from the United Methodist Church, the author witnessed numerous
funeral services led by various clergy persons of different faith
groups. Some services were well thought out and brought hope and
healing to surviving persons. However, a number of those services
indicated the opposite--services that were lethargic and impersonal
by officiants who hardly mentioned a word about the deceased person
including their name. It was almost as though the deceased person
barely entered or exited their life's journey without any impact.
The title of the book comes from some of those reflections while
employed at the funeral home. The first part of the book provides
some insights about funeral services, reflections on grief
practices and cultural mores, and the raising of several issues
that challenge a sometimes impersonal, pernicious, and apathethic
clergy as to how grief ministry is provided. The book also provides
several examples of outstanding clergy care and pastoral support
during times of mourning. The second part of the book contains a
few humorous thoughts on several practical issues that he has
encountered. The book concludes with thoughts about the nomadic and
traveling lifestyle that he and his wife have enjoyed for the last
six years.
