Description

Caring through the Funeral is a guidebook to take pastors through the complete funeral process, from the moment the call is received to the weeks following the funeral.

More than just a ""how-to,"" Caring through the Funeral uniquely addresses the funeral process from the perspective of pastoral ministry--of pastoral caring throughout the time of mourning, from the death through post-funeral grieving.

Many times the funeral is the most momentous means of pastoral caring for the bereaved, and often it is the only time that the church has an opportunity to care for the family and friends. Gene Fowler explores what pastors go through at each stage of the funeral process.

Both descriptive and conceptual, Fowler's practical advice, solid pastoral and theological grounding, and case illustrations take pastors and student pastors through many issues:- the language of loss--the vocabulary ministers need for this caring ministry- bereavement and grief- pastoral care of family members- pastoral care of non-family members, including groups within the church and community- the funeral as worship service, including a comparison of our Protestant liturgical books and the elements that comprise a Christian funeral- practical issues of planning the service, including sample services- funeral service as means of caring for the bereaved and as a rite of passage, and the interrelationship between funerals, mourning, and grief- how funerals often launch mourners on a spiritual journey- questions asked by the bereaved- role of resurrection in pastoral care- pastoral care after the funeral
