Good Morning, I am a Lutheran pastor (LCMS) who was also raised on a dairy farm. I enjoy tractors and I was a diesel mechanic for many years before beginning seminary 10 years ago at age 40. That being said, here are my thoughts: At the Funeral Home, it is fine to play a tribute video, display photos, and share fond memories of the deceased, especially if they worked in a life-long and honorable vocation. At a Christian funeral within a Church, however, the Glory and Praise should be to God alone. A Christian funeral should be Christo-centric (Christ-centered), and not anthropo-centric (man-centered). A Christian funeral should give Glory to God for what He did through the hands and feet of a man (or woman) who was Redeemed by the blood of the crucified, risen and ascended Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing wrong with happy memories, but being a farmer, or mechanic, or even a pastor does not merit Salvation. Salvation is in Christ alone.At a funeral, give Him the Glory. Blessings to all of you this harvest season, Merlin in Rushford, MN
