The Privilege of Funeral Ministry
This particular Vicar, Vic Van Den Bergh, reflects on why, for him, funerals are one of the greatest privileges of ordained ministry:
“Again I have been reminded of just how wonderful it is, and how amazingly privileged I am, to be involved in the ministry of conducting funerals. People often look at me as if I have a screw missing, but I tell them, ‘Funerals are the best bit of my job,’ but this is the God’s honest truth.”
