A suitable psalm, hymn, or canticle may follow. The following Psalms are appropriate: , 46 , , , , From the New Testament: Romans ,, The glory that shall be revealed 1 Corinthians ,,, The imperishable body 2 Corinthians Things that are unseen are eternal 1 John We shall be like him Revelation God will wipe away every tear Revelation Behold, I make all things new.

The following Psalms are appropriate: 23 , 27 , , T he steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. For the Lord will not reject forever. Although he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone. A ll who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I n fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.

For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

The last enemy to be destroyed is death. But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come? What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And as for what you sow, you do not sow the body that is to be, but a bare seed, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.

For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled:.

Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. W e do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling-- if indeed, when we have taken it off we will not be found naked. How one arranges a funeral for a loved one or for himself is a very personal matter. No one should presume to lay down rigid regulations, to which all others are expected to conform. The Scriptures do not dictate this matter. If one chooses no funeral, he has not sinned.

If he wishes to provide one, that is his option. We do believe, however, that there are principles which a judicious child of God might wish to consider. These relate to economics, expediency, influence, etc. Death is such an odious eventuality that many people neglect to do much planning for the disposal of their body.

Too, death can strike suddenly and force upon us a multitude of decisions, which, due to the unexpected trauma, we are ill-prepared to make within the few days that are available to us.

Frequently we are intimidated by custom. And we live with the consequences of these decisions for years. The disposition of the dead can be facilitated in a variety of ways. It is your decision to make as to what will be done with your body in the event of your death — provided your loved ones respect your wishes.

After all, once you are dead, others can do with you as they wish. We presume, however, our families will honor our requests. In , the Federal Trade Commission began to regulate more strictly the funeral industry. Mortuaries are required by law to provide a list of the costs that are inherent in various funeral plans. Many things may be involved that the average person does not anticipate. If one chooses a full funeral, with a viewing of the body, along with a subsequent interment, these services can be involved: Removal of the remains from home or hospital, embalming, professional charges, preparation cosmetology, hair, etc.

In a nationwide survey was done of funeral expenses. That was the average! One may want to ask, therefore: Is an expensive funeral the wisest course for a Christian who believes in the principle of good stewardship? Personally, I would rather leave whatever meager resources I have remaining, to be used for the accomplishment of good to the glory of God, than to deposit them in a hole in the ground.

Christians should have some idea from an unbiased source as to what their options are at the time of death. The following possibilities are available. Medical schools will dispose of the remains when studies are completed. Upon request, they will return the cremains to the family.

Either cremation of the body, or immediate burial with no embalming, viewing, etc.

Except in certain cases, embalming is not required by law. Some oppose cremation on emotional grounds. But, as Guy N. The body is privately and inexpensively interred, and then, at some subsequent and convenient time, a service may be conducted at a church facility. Such is far less costly than a full funeral. Whatever a family chooses to do is their decision. They should not feel pressured to do what they cannot afford, or that with which they are not comfortable.

Increasingly, it seems, the dynamic of the modern funeral is changing. Once it was the case that funerals were conducted generally in church buildings, and were sacred occasions, characterized by the singing of hymns, prayers, some reflection upon the life of the deceased, and exhortation from the Scriptures. But things are changing considerably in some places — not necessarily for the better.

Increasingly there seems to be the trend that, rather than the leaders of the church orchestrating how the services are to be conducted, the family including non-Christians are planning the funeral. The resuIt is a strange mixture of the sacred and the secular.

Religious Readings for Funerals Sources:

Too, women are being encouraged to mount the pulpit to read poetry or the Scriptures. Family members are invited to make comments regarding the deceased — which may be inappropriate, leaving the impression that the person, who perhaps was not even a Christian, is spiritually secure. What impressions do these types of services leave with non-Christians? It seems to me that elders or other church leaders must be more prudent when funerals are conducted in church buildings.

When services are held elsewhere, we may not have as much control, but when they are on our premises, do we not have an obligation to screen out worldly and sectarian influences?
