Funerals with Today's Families in Mind: A Handbook for Pastors

By Doreen M. McFarlane

This new book for pastors focuses on the subject of funerals: how to conduct a meaningful funeral or memorial service and how to be a truly sensitive caregiver to today's often complex families in their time of bereavement. Several topics covered are family issues that arise in preparation for the funeral, day of the service, special circumstances, biblical passages and sermons, and ideas about cremation vs. burial. This book also offers ideas on preparing a death and dying resource booklet for church members.
