Here is a warmly written
booklet for the priest to give to those mourning the loss of a loved
one.
The first section,
Reflection, offers words of comfort and hope, an explanation of
the Christian understanding of death, words from Scripture and
prayers for personal use, and help through the days after the
funeral.
Part two, Action,
gives a step-by-step guide to what to do after a death, all aspects
of the funeral arrangements, and a step-by-step guide to what
happens on the day of the funeral.
A final section gives
suggestions for hymns suitable for funerals, Bible readings for the
funeral and personal use, and a section including useful names,
addresses and publications.
