I was familiar with all the hymns chosen for the funeral. The lyrics of Crown Him With Many Crowns is clearly about God, specifically about Jesus as the Son in the Trinity, and not about a US President.

As a Boomer, I am also familiar with Imagine. I was surprised to hear it at the funeral of a religious man, but then as I listened in the context of a church funeral, I realized that, as another poster upthread said, it was fitting. Even in religions that teach about heaven and hell, the ideal is to do right in the name of love, for its own sake, and not for the sake of gaining brownie points or an excuse to condemn others.
