This book is a compilation of funeral messages by the Arrington Funeral Directors of Jackson, Tennessee. We are especially thankful to the local church pastors/ministers in our area who took the time to help write this book. Several writers have chosen to mention the name of the deceased and their family as an ongoing tribute to their life and legacy, while others wrote in more general terms. We want to thank each of you for your time and commitment to this project We hope this book serves as a ministry tool helping pastors of every age and stage of ministry to better serve grieving families. We especially hope it will help younger pastors to have a needed resource in a moment of crisis.
