10.1.1.5 Ecumenism: Funerals
Eulogies can be given at the end of a funeral service. At the request of close relatives, a minister of another denomination may also speak some words of comfort during the funeral. This applies equally to funerals at cemeteries, funeral chapels, and funeral services conducted in our church buildings.
