<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The LCSH heading “[Personal name]—Death and burial” can help cover works that were occasioned by someone’s death but that are not funeral sermons. I know it’s not the same thing as having a genre term for the
exact category of material you’re describing, but it’s a help, anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">Apologies for jumping the gun. I know many of you are involved in writing scope notes for genre headings, but my colleagues and I have been debating the use of the term
“funeral sermons,” which I believe has yet to come under review. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">Our debate stems from a number of sermons (so identified in the title) on the death of Daniel Webster. These sermons were not delivered at Webster’s actual funeral.
Would “funeral sermons” still be an appropriate term for these items?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
