I believe a funeral is at least as much for the dead as for the
living. Praying that your wishes may be respected and that your
efforts to make the needed decisions about your funeral may be
appreciated.

"Life is changed, not ended..."

Q. Why do we pray for the dead?
A. We pray for them, because we still hold them in our love, and
because we trust that in God’s presence those who have chosen to serve
him will grow in his love, until they see him as he is.
