A Great Resource for Preachers

This book represents a great resource for preachers! It provides a collection of good homilies that give inspiration and show the variety of approaches one may take when preparing to write one's own funeral homily. This short anthology groups contents according to circumstance: the death of a parent, the death of a young person, tragic death, death of an old person, etc. It allows one to see how successful homilists have handled the topic of death and have extended comfort and reflection to those who are grieving.
