"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."- St. Peter. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." - Jesus.

Funeral Bus


Here’s an interesting sight. This is a funeral bus. Apparently mourners sit in the bus with the coffin. That’s an experience that we would not understand in Australia or Canada.
The writing on the side means “Ritual services” or perhaps more accurately translated “Sacramental Services.” From the orthx. Ch.

Yes but if you are in an area where most of the mourners usually use a bus for transportation it likely sounds practical and even "how else?" I would expect the mood on the bus to be much like you would expect to be displayed at the funeral. From the family's perspective I'm sure it beats riding with strangers who arent mourning on a city bus!
