Death: Catholics versus the 'nones': Reflection: Last week, we buried my father. In the time from his death until his burial, I was acutely aware of what a priest friend said to me a long time ago: "The church is her best at a funeral." It is so true.
MGB:After a certain age, we all are grieving somone. The funderal liturgy unites us in that grief instead of trying to bury it. Our answer is in another hymn. I know that my Redeemer lives.
Nones either become religious for the day or simply go to honor the person.
