Re: Death in the church
The ladies in our church provide a complete dinner (meat, salad, pasta/rice, rolls, drinks, desserts up to 120 people) for the family following the funeral. This is for members of our congregation that have an immediate family member pass. We do not expect any remuneration. There are always some people who will take dishes to the home on the days preceding the funeral.
People who complain about what they get or don't get are just stupid, ignorant jerks.

Re: Death in the church
My grandfather was an active, faithful member of a church for 50+ years and when he died, no one from the church brought food for the family. We didn't complain, but we were certainly hurt and disappointed that no one seemed to care.

I can understand that. It would feel like no one cared.

To me that is so sad - and there is absolutely no excuse for that happening. I can certainly understand your hurt and disappointment. Maybe there is a lesson here we could all learn.....

We had a fellowship dinner after the morning service and there was a lot of food left over. At the evening service a family of travelers came by asking for "help." After church I loaded them up with what we had - but all they really wanted was cash.
The woman looked at the salad and angrily declared, "This doesn't even have dressing on it!!" and then threw the salad at me.
Nice folks.
