Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran Church In Eagan Mn
Since when do you die in the yr 2008 and have to dig a grave and bury your own loved one

Our dear Aunt, mother, sister, Grandma and best friend passed away 12. The pastor at this church is not doing the works of God as he should. Our loved one wanted communion and her last rights at the hospitol, the pastor had a hard time giving us communion and asking over and over again if we were confirmed. It seemed as though he didn't believe us. At the funeral The pastor refused to have a member of our family give a Eulogy of our loved one at her funeral. The pastor said this death is about Christ not our loved one. We reqested the pastor to tell us what a wonderful person she was and to give a story of our loved one to be told at her funeral. The pastor said he had to proof read it, and it was again about Christ not the dead. He never did proof read it. The day the funeral he stumbled around, with us knowing he never read it once before the funeral. Many people noticed that he did not focus on her but the scripture was to perfection, not our mothers love she had for life and people. He embarrassed us as a family knowing that this was important for us to have at her funeral. This is what our loved one wanted. We get a phone call from him telling us that he could not bury her untill spring. He told us he would store her dead body in a warehouse untill spring. He said her body was Dormant and that it didn't matter. So we ended up digging her grave and haveing to cover it up. I thought this would have happened in the 1800's not in 2008. That was so sad. The bottom line is he didn't want the exspense so he refused to bury her. Since when do we store dead body's and not bury them in winter months. She was a servant to the lord at his house for 40 years. This minister has been there for 3 years. We think he should move on and someone else could show the works of a Christian. God doesn't turn us away he shouldn't either. The man should move on and have a little Compassion for something other than religion. What a sin. From the angry realitives and family. God Bless him and lets hope he can move on to something better in life.
