FUNERALS
"If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him." Romans 6:8
Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise, and thanksgiving to God for the gift of a life which has now been returned to God, the author of life and the hope of the just. The Mass, the memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, is the principal celebration of the Christian funeral. –Order of Christian Funerals
