| dc.description.abstract | How can the Reformed Churches of African origin arrive at a Biblical and contextual liturgy for
their funeral services? Liturgy in death situations teaches people the meaning of death, and to
the African, a proper funeral service or burial is a sign of respect to the deceased. Guidelines are
given on how funeral services may be conducted so that they can help focus on the resurrection
of the body, and the new life waiting ahead, rather than on ancestral veneration. These guidelines
comprise a liturgy for mourning and funeral service, especially that at the graveside. This article
is liturgical and does not intend to be dogmatic in its research. | |
