THE HOUSE OF MOURNING

A Funeral Service for Mildred Green

Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 "It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."

We are gathered here today in a house of mourning. We only come to funeral homes when someone dies. This is not a place we choose to be. This is not a place we enjoy being. Our hearts are heavy. There is sadness in this room.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not”

— Proverbs 23:23
