Potential Participants for Funeral of Elder Robert D. Hales

Hello, everyone! I am just posting with my thoughts on who might participate in the funeral services for Elder Robert D. Hales. Bear in mind that these are no more than my own thoughts, and that the actual services may look considerably different. Also bear in mind that, in view of President Monson being out of the public eye due to his advanced age, he will likely not participate in these funeral services. Just wanted to note that.

That said, what might the funeral services look like? If previous precedent is any indication, here are my thoughts:
Conducting: President Dieter F. Uchtdorf (President Henry B. Eyring conducted the 2015 funeral services for President Packer & Elders Perry & Scott, but with President Eyring being the senior leader in attendance, he might delegate that to President Uchtdorf)

Speakers:
Stephen C. Hales (for the Hales family)
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
President Russell M. Nelson
President Henry B. Eyring

That is just my best guess, based on what I currently know. If any of you know of anything I have overlooked, please let me know. In the meantime, thank you for the privilege of your time, and may the Lord bless you in all that you do.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
