Funerals

At the time of a loved one’s death, the support and help of the parish community is very precious. Praying for the Dead, Caring for the Living is a resource for those who work with the bereaved at the time of a death, as an aid to the bereaved as they prepare to celebrate the funeral of their loved one, and to help all of us join in the funeral celebrations. Celebrating the Christian Funeral is a booklet for families at the time of the funeral of a loved one and should provide a practical help at such a difficult time.
