She died a terrible death due to wrong choices and self-sufficiency. Many tried to reach out and share the love of Christ, to no avail. She was a Christian, but had no relationship with Him and never experienced that fullness on the earth. Her funeral glorified her life and her faith (in worldly pleasures) that led to spiritual and ultimately physical death. It was sadly a missed opportunity to share the gospel truth with all in attendance. I agree with your statements above and wish it had been approached differently.

At his funeral wake, the gospel was preached in Chinese and many of our relatives heard about Jesus and the gift of salvation for the first time in their lives. My father passed away a month ago.
