To do someone deceased a service to salvations end, would be doing something necessary for that someone to be saved, namely burying them through christian rites.
There could also be more meaning behind the phrase when it is used in different ways. I will ask an elderly acqauintance, ho has done missionary work for many years.

Thank you. I will put all these suggestions to good use when I attempt to translate the text some more. Thank all of you for the various insights. And that interperetation makes sense about how it can apply to Christian rites for the deceased. And if you talk to that minister tell me. Thanks again.
