Just found out churches can deny hosting funeral services if you weren’t a member or didnt donate…. Yeah tax the churches. As long as the family pays for the service this shouldn’t be a thing

People have a right to refuse service. If I ran a church I want the right not to host trump’s funeral

Based on specific issues yes. Obviously I don’t think a church should have to host a funeral for a satanist or something. But denying service because someone didn’t donate enough literally goes against their beliefs. Churches are exempt from taxes because they are considered charitable and provide services. A lot of older people feel like they have to regularly donate to churches to be on good standing when they pass. If they want to function like a business they should pay taxes.

And sure its easy to say that but when ur in the situation where a family you have to go thru hell trying to find a church that can do a funeral for a loved one who donated and was even a member. They literally pulled a list of all her donations and said “She only donated $10 a month and had low attendance” when she has been extremely ill

I think church needs to be reviewed in those cases and shouldn’t allow denying services to those people
