The funeral was in the LDS wardhouse. The main speaker was her apostate son(moi). And also included her care giver who is a lutheran minister. Not all Mormon bishops are jerks who turn a funeral into an LDS propaganda pageant,

Hay una sola. There is only one. It sounds like your tribute to her was perfect.

Please take care of yourself in the coming days.

I'm sorry for your loss too. You sound like a caring son and
I'm sure you gave a beautiful tribute to your Mother.

There's a sense of relief in your post as you mention not
all Bishops are jerks. It's comforting to know that deep down
people are basically good & descent underneath regardless of
religious affiliation.

Thank you for sharing a difficult time in your life.
You're not in this alone.

Sincere condolences to you and your family. Glad you were able to honor her the way you wanted to. My parents funerals were structured the way we, their apostate sons wanted them to be. Good thing the bishop's were decent.

At least the service wasn't insult on top of injury. Kudos to that bishop, whoever he is.

My condolences. My own Mom passed on in August 2013. I feel like I can talk about her honestly here when I need to, and would encourage you to remember this board if you ever need or would like to talk about your mom.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have any problem with Mormon funerals except for the burial in ceremonial Mormon Temple clothing. The sad thing is that the dead can't defend themselves against their believing family who want to bury them in Temple Clothing at their funeral. I assume that is what happened because she was a believer. To non believers it can be offensive like doing baptism for the dead. How can they force their religion on the deceased like that?

My condolences.

It's nice to hear you were able to make the funeral about her, not the cult. My condolences for your loss.

You made sure she was remembered the way you wanted her to be. I'm sorry for your loss. If there is a next life, now she knows you have lived your life with integrity. Remember the good times and how much you were loved. Best wishes for healing.

So sorry for your loss, but so glad the funeral was the way you wanted it and that the bishop was a good guy.

I got the whole Plan of Salvation hoopla at my Dad's funeral. As you know, losing a parent is so hard and having to listen to that was just awful--especially since I was the only apostate in the chapel and everyone knew it.

Hope you have lots of good memories to get you through the mourning process Demon of Kolob. All the best.

I'm so sorry. Burying a parent can be really hard. I've done it now 2 times.

I'm glad that the service went well and that you were able to speak.
