In today’s episode, Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller talks about seven myths about death and dying. We’ll even tell you what the myths are and then you can listen to Rev. Wolfmueller talk about why they’re myths.

Death is natural.

After death, a Christian will be judged.

When you die you become an angel.

When you die you are through with your body.

Cremation is a sin.

Funerals are for the living, not the dead.

Christians should not mourn or be sad, funerals should be a celebration.
