    Dear TOTH , Please pass on my deepest sympathy to your wife . I am so sorry...

    A Kingdom Hall funeral is never comforting . Please do have your own kind of memorial for your Father in law it will be more meaningful for all of you .

    Sorry for your family's loss. JW funerals are just a sales pitch for the corporation.

    Sorry for your loss. Those memorial talks aren't very upbuilding at all, just one big infomercial!

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Is it possible to have a small celebration of life ceremony instead? I've attended two and it was a much more loving, healing affair than any funeral talk I've attended as a JW.

    Toth, You've been through a lot over the past couple of months. The stress of losing your leg, and now losing your Father in Law must be very hard for you and your Wife. I send you sincere thoughts in the hopes that you and your Wife heal both physically and emotionally from your extreme losses. The way the JW's turn a funeral or memorial into a sales pitch is sickening, and you are a special person for deciding to give your FIL a proper send off, including is favorite music. You and your wife sound like you are very loving and devoted to each other!
