I have a an extended family member (Eric, 33) who was Buddhist but just recently passed. His family is VERY Christian (like believing the King James version is the only proper Bible) and his uncle (a southern Baptist preacher, who will be officiating) strong-armed his mother to have a Christian funeral service website. (The service hasn't taken place yet) It bothers me immensely they are not respecting Eric in life or death. Part of me wants to at least place a picture of the Buddha at his casket and lay some fruit, invite some local monks, read a section on "A Buddhist Reflects on Happy Living", etc but I have a feeling that that will cause an uproar and remove the peace & serenity. Do I just leave it alone and let it be or what? I don't identify with any one religion but it bothers me to no end that they don't respect his religion and that they are going to use Eric's passing as a way to "save" the people attending & not celebrating or remembering Eric. Eric was a great person and this hurts my heart so much. I'd appreciate any help, insight or advice. Thank you all

I can understand how difficult and challenging this situation must be for you, as it involves conflicting religious subway surfers beliefs and honoring the memory of your extended family member. While it is important to respect the beliefs and wishes of the family, it is equally important to honor the wishes and beliefs of the deceased.Comment
