Order of Christian Funerals: Complete Text of the Order Approved for use in the United States of America (Study Edition)

This book is a facsimile of the ritual edition of the Order of Christian Funerals published by Liturgy Training Publications. It contains the introductions and all rites that follow the death of a Christian. This study edition is not intended for use at the rites; it is rather to assist the various ministers (and at times the family of the deceased) in preparing the vigil (wake), funeral liturgy, committal and other rites. Because this new Order offers many texts composed for particular circumstances, such preparation can greatly enhance the prayer of the community.
