Recently I attended a "civil" funeral. And let me say, it was extremely well done. Great care and reverence was shown. But what intrigued me was the use of religious language and symbol whilst trying to be "non religious". There was a real sense of groping around in the dark for answers to deep questions about "life", "death", "purpose" and "the eternal". As a Christian I would have loved to have been able to jump up and say - "there is the bright light of Christ" that will illuninate and answer all your groping, all your questions.
It was not the time for that, but we must all, as we have opportunity, share the Good News with others so that they might find "The Light of Christ" and in that light find the answers to life's deep questions.
