Church cancels man's funeral because his obit mentioned he was gay. (G/A/F?)

I don't agree with the actions of the church, but I'm also confused as to why they didn't just have the funeral at a funeral home like most people? I'm from the depths of eastern Kentucky, and even I haven't been to a funeral at a church since I was a boy. My grandparents, my aunt, everyone else I've buried...all at funeral homes. The only time in 20 years I've been to a funeral at a church it was for the man who was that congregation's preacher until he passed away. I honestly didn't even know most churches still did that, just like most people stopped having visitation/wake at the deceased's home.

They needed the larger venue which is why they couldn't hold it at the mother's church.

My mother's was in a hotel meeting room. It's just whatever the mourners need to cope with the loss /shrug
 
Great success. You managed to get one last kick in while the corpse was still warm, one last act of ostracization and stigmatization. Keep it up, and let us know how well telling the mothers in your flock that you won't bury their gay sons and daughters works out for you long term.

Don't worry, in 20 years all these despicable churches will pretend like they did nothing wrong and continue to scam people just like they did after the civil rights movement.
