Funeral preachers, in order to minimize the risk of their words doing harm to mourners, must be attentive to God's story (scripture, ritual texts), their own story (history of loss, the theology underlying their preaching), and to the stories of the deceased and the bereaved. The form and function of lament allows for a funeral homiletic that, by respecting human grief and echoing the structure of rites of passage, decreases such a risk. The author tested this approach with a cohort of twelve Catholic pastoral ministers, lay and ordained. They agreed that such an approach was helpful and pastorally useful.
