What work must we do in the wake of death? Where do we begin? How do we prepare to face death, to face death together as a parish?
Here Margaret Smith helps you to begin to answer these questions by exploring the riches of the Order of Christian Funerals. In this book you will find:
- an engaging discussion of the anthropology of death;
- an accessible summary of the OCF's theology;
- practical advice for enacting the rites with dignity;
- true stories of pastoral situations, good and bad;
- a vision for organizing funerals in a context of pastoral care; and,
- notes toward rites to use when disconnecting life-support, when organs are donated or bodies given to science after death.
