Description: "This wise and sensitive book has been written for those who want to know more about how to organize a funeral, and for clergy to work through with people who have had little contact with the Church. It offers a range of services for various occasions: a basic Christian funeral; a service suitable for a baby or child; for a young person who has died tragically; for someone who has committed suicide; and for a person with little or no faith. Also included is a substantial resource section to readings, prayers and suggestions for appropriate music, drawn from modern, traditional, classical and popular sources."--Dust jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 110-114) and index.
