Funerals—A Time for Reverence
Elder Boyd K. Packer
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Funerals are reverent Church meetings that should teach gospel doctrine and comfort the bereaved.
“Reverence, please, brothers and sisters, reverence, I pray”
“What comfort the truth brings at times of sorrow!”
“Temporal, I repeat, means temporary.”
“Funerals held under the direction of the priesthood are Church meetings.”
