Preaching Angles: (1) Denial; Death; Grief—This news story is a great example of our tendency to deny the hard truths of life, especially our mortality. The funeral home owner wants to help people "get their minds off what's going on," but mourners actually need to face the reality of death and grieve it rather than just avoid it. (2) Afterlife; Judgment, divine—This story also illustrates our attempts not to think about what happens after we die.
