Re: Is the YELLING necessary @ a funeral

We had one at our church a while back that was unbelievable. It was NOT handled by my Pastor, the deceased attended our church but had a brother that pastored somewhere back east who did the funeral.

It was bad, it went on for EVER and he had a forced altar call (basically telling everyone they had to come to the altar) and was baptizing other members of the family, (none of whom seem to have made any significant movement toward God since.)

What made it worse is that the mortuary that they used is one that we work with regularly, and have a really good relationship with, and they were FURIOUS. It held up their schedule for almost two hours by the time it was all said and done, and there was a military honor guard waiting at the graveside that finally left because they had to go to another funeral! Sad!
