Even though I'm a heretic, I share some of the same sympathies, so that what I would do. I wouldn't recommend anyone to do so if it wasn't sincere. Not that I'm implying you would; the tone of your posts suggest that you're a tactful person.

I would probably want to comfort them from my own frame of reference.

I NEVER get involved with those conversations at a funeral. Strict rule.

One of my friends died of a heart attack at 26 years old ... I didn't say a word about his afterlife or lack thereof. It's actually very easy to avoid because at a funeral, everyone wants to be supportive (& special), and it makes it easy to be supportive just by standing around and keeping your mouth shut.


Did I mention its a strict rule? Fellow non-believers - show some respect, keep your mouth shut and let them believe their fairy tales for a day.
