You chose to become a Jew. You were not born as a Jew. Your mother’s funeral is not about you. It is about her and respecting her last wishes. As many “problems” as you may have with her funeral arrangements, did it ever dawn on you that she may have had “problems” with your conversion to Judaism? Why wouldn’t you be permitted to pray for your own mother? Did it ever occur to you that you dishonored your Christian faith and family by converting to Judaism? Stop using your faith as an excuse to dishonor your own mother – which is against one of the Ten Commandments located in the OLD Testament.
