traditional reflection on death and legacy
A funeral does not create the meaning of a life. It reveals it. The stories told, the tears shed, and the silences that fall all point back to how the person actually lived. The question worth asking while there is still time is not how we will be eulogized, but whether the life we are living is the one we will be content to have told.
How you’d preach it
Sobering and clarifying. The funeral is not the place where the meaning of a life is invented; it is where it is revealed.
