The Three R's Of Death

Contributed by David Gant on Dec 31, 2005

This is a funeral service I have used several times, most recently in the situation where I doubted the salvation of the individual, and the family was mixed with believers and unbelivers. It is a way to honor the individual, but still present the gospel
