In regards to what you would consider a "Christian" funeral. I understand that this is a difficult time for you as well, as being involved in something of this nature, but I'm curious as to what you say in these regards....

I'm in total agreement that a funeral is not the time/place for a "recruitment hour". Then again, no church should ever be trying to recruit people from one church to go to another. This isn't a competition...

So is that what you're talking about, or are you talking about presenting a salvation message to those at the funeral? The two are very different things. Let's remember, that if the mother/grandmother are not believers, then there is *absolutely no hope* that they will ever see that baby again.

What comfort can you impart to the unsaved in regards to any death, let alone that of a child? I've been to some sad funerals in my time, but none are worse than a funeral of someone who didn't believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Savior. Why? Because in that case, there is no hope...there is no peace...and death is hardly a release.

This is certainly a sad time, but lets remember that there is only one who can impart comfort...and who is named the Prince of Peace.
