If I was a Pastor in America, then I would wholeheartedly recommend Conduct Gospel-Centered Funerals. It is brimming with tips and practical pointers to help Pastors and other church ministers conduct funerals that point people to the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. But I'm not. I'm English. And so much of this book is culturally bound, including such things as where to stand at an open casket funeral (not common here!).
The main takeaways of this book for non-American audiences are: be sympathetic to the grieving, and share the good news of the gospel. Brilliant. But, I suspect that if you're not doing that already then you've probably missed a trick in your ministry.
