Preaching the Funeral Homily: Proclaiming the Gospel of Heavenly Hope

Your most powerful homily could be at a funeral. These 18 model homilies will help preachers prepare funeral homilies more easily and deliver them more effectively. The author, known for giving especially inspiring funeral homilies, covers the gamut of homilies for "ordinary" funerals to those preached in more difficult circumstances for example, at the funeral of a person who has committed suicide or a young victim of leukemia. All sample homilies are derived from real circumstances that most preachers face at some point. Part 2 is an especially useful section of inspirational quotations and poems suitable for use in funeral homilies.
