El Paso Coug says the HOI says the above, it actually says:

"Funeral addresses and music should balance tributes with teaching the gospel."

I don't have a problem with this at all, especially since it says in the intro to learn your duty by FIRST reading the scriptures, then seeking revelation, THEN using the HOI.

The HOI seems to be right on for me in giving just enough information to help but allowing the leader to lead as directed by the spirit.

This is really much ado about nothing.
