28. I'm sorry for your loss.

I know what it means to be grieving and not being able to make arrangements that you think appropriate. My mother's funeral was at some ungodly hour of the morning because "prior engagements".

You can request a different minister and demand the time be changed. You do have that much power, but it is so hard to voice your needs in this type of situation. I wish you peace. This is your family's funeral and you can demand that the time be changed.
