Greetings (original) (raw)
I am recently ordained and a non-denominational Christian in my beliefs. I see, reading a lot of these posts, that the ability to perform weddings (maybe a special one that's already planned) is an impetous for many to become ordained. My motive, in part, is to grant a very ill friend's wish I perform his funeral, when the time comes. I am honored to be bestowed such an important role in his life, at his choosing, but hope we have a lot of time before I'm needed. I have glanced at the training site a bit. But since I found this group, I thought I'd ask if anyone else had experiences leading a funeral or memorial service? Any suggestions--things that worked particularly well? Either during the service itself, preparation or working with the family before or after? Thank you all kindly for your thoughts.
