At a Funeral

Lesson 7 of 10 · About 15 minutes

At a Funeral

What do I pray before, during and after a funeral?

The four places a lay person is asked to pray, grief that keeps its hope, praying for the dead, and what to leave out when a death was hard.

In a low farmhouse room a pastor in a white ruff stands with folded hands behind a coffin covered in wreaths, while mourners in black shawls and dark coats stand with their heads bowed.
