Apostolic Funeral Manual

By Dr. William S. Donald III

Funerals are moments of deep sorrow, but also opportunities to reflect the glory of Christ and the dignity of His church. The Apostolic Funeral Manual serves as the official protocol guide of the Fresh Manna Alliance of Christian Ministries, offering clear direction for pastors, bishops, ministers, and church leaders.

This manual is more than a reference-it is a sacred blueprint. Inside, you will find:

Step-by-step guidance for bishop, pastor, deacon, missionary, and lay funerals.

Ceremonial instructions for the closing of the casket and the placement of sacred items.

Protocols for military honors, suicides, and sensitive cases requiring wisdom and care.

Directions for processional and recessional order, use of vestments, and appropriate liturgy.

Biblical foundations and apostolic tradition that give spiritual weight to every service.

For churches, the manual brings order and consistency. For leaders, it offers confidence and clarity in some of their most difficult moments of service. For seminaries and training programs, it provides a teaching tool that prepares ministers for real-world pastoral responsibilities.

Every section was written to ensure that funerals are conducted with reverence, structure, and excellence, while offering comfort to grieving families and glory to God.

Whether you are leading a small congregation or overseeing a fellowship of churches, the Apostolic Funeral Manual is an indispensable resource that will serve generations to come.
