Often the deceased is not someone the pastor has known well, and preparations for the service of death and resurrection take place in the midst of pastoral care of the grieving, writing the funeral sermon, and the pastor’s regular duties. The book is bound in a way that makes it suitable for use at church services and at the grave side.. Drawing on the books of worship from a number of denominations and traditions, it provides several options for each of the elements of the funeral service, from gathering texts to opening prayers to scripture lessons to final prayers. These circumstances make it especially hard to plan an appropriate and meaningful order of worship for the funeral service.Christian Funerals will help pastors as they attend to this crucial ministry of the church. Unlike weddings, funerals rarely take place after extensive planning
"Christian Funerals" according to Paul. Very comprehensive, plenty of choice.possibly excessivefor me too much choice, the material needed serious editing, so that a complete Funeral Service Manual would be provided.. Four Stars Good resource
