Who is it hurting? End of life or at the time of grieving isn't the time to take the belief is a hereafter away from people. They are already dealing with enough physically, mentally, and emotionally.
What makes you believe you can take the faith of a believer in Jesus away at anytime in their life. Christians do not believe to relieve the pain of death, they believe to have a relationship with Jesus for an eternity. Yes knowing that death is temporary is comforting, however dying is an extremely uncomfortable situation I saw it with mom when she passed a little over a year ago and she was as strong a Christian as I've ever known.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
