Although I am a pastor, I do very few funerals (only 3 in 7 years). I appreciate all of your insight in handling the death of a non-believer. Thanks again.

I am not a pastor but was asked and officiated a funeral (graveside) for a friend today. I got some pointers from my pastor and your blog. I also actually came up with some stuff of my own too! Here is something that seemed to be really helpful to the widow. I found the following prayer in Kenneth Boa's, Handbook to Prayer (Praying Scripture Back to God). I wrote it on a small piece of cardstock, folded it and gave it to the widow the day after her husband passed away and encouraged her to pray it. I also memorized it and prayed it on her behalf during the service. I think it is perfect for a time like this and thought you might like it... I will not fear, for You are with me; I will not be dismayed, for You are my God. You will strengthen me and help me; You will uphold me with Your righteous right hand. For You are the Lord my God, who takes hold of my right hand And says to me, "Do not fear; I will help you." (From Isaiah 41:10,13) I call this to mind, And therefore I have hope: The Lord's mercies never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. (From Lamentations 3:21-23) Blessings! Matthew, thanks for the info here. I am not a pastor but was asked and officiated a funeral (graveside) for a friend today.

I will not fear, for You are with me;
