Just out of seminary preparing for my first officiating at a funeral, I recalled the advice of one of my mentors: “when you meet with the family ask for photographs of the deceased and build your words around them.” The photos, whether posed or candid, enabled the mourners to focus on meaningful stories and memories that could be shared with others.
