Human beings have sensed the mystery of death and the pain of grief since time immemorial.
Every society has developed rites to mark the passage from life through death.

Today we do this through the funeral service and the rites by which we lay a
person’s body to rest.

The wounds of grief need time and care to heal. The funeral may help this process by enabling us to acknowledge our loss, give thanks for the life of the person who has passed, make our last farewell and begin to take up life once more.
