My Better To Go To The House Of Mourning..

Are you afraid or have you attended any funeral service in your life?

On 07th June 2016, It was a School Semester holidays. The weather is fine in the morning; together with my mom, my sister  we went to attend a funeral service at Fook Lu Siew Parlour. We reached the parlour at around 9:00am.


At the entrance to the parlour,  a board with names and photos of the passed aways and indication of Room number in
which the dead body and coffin were placed there.

 

We headed to the labelled of VIP Room Yong Lim Fah @Omega
or Deacon Titus Yong passed away on 03rd June 2016.


We reached the 2nd floor VIP Room...


As we were about to step into the room, we really felt the room was a 
grand, nice,
comfortable room;...


The staff of Fook Lu Siew were friendly and helpful around,  giving their best
service to everyone who came to attend the farewell service.


Inside the VIP room,....



flowers were all around...


....and Mr Yong Lim Fah @ Omega  body and coffin were placed here.




Are you afraid to see the dead body?..


Friends and relatives came to attend the farewell service...


We were quite early so there were ample seats, we choosed
to sit at this corner.


The VIP Room can accomodated 300 guests, so...


....it was packed with friends, reatives; Deacons, Preachers, 
brothers and sisters of True Jesus Church.


The farewell service began at 9:30am,
and was conducted by True Jesus Church...


....first singing of hymn no. 301
Asleep In Jesus, Blessed Sleep.


Followed by reading of the Holy Bible..


Ecclesiastes 8:8

8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.


Ecclesiastes 7:2

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.


Psalm 90:10

10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.


Revelation 14:13

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.


1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
