Preparing an Episcopal Funeral

Rob Boulter and Kenneth Koehler

Funeral planning is one of the most challenging things a family or priest may ever do, whether it is honoring the death of a loved one or long-time member of the congregation. This simple guide explains the Episcopal theology of celebrating a life alongside grief, while offering practical guidelines and forms for planning and arranging funerals. All content is in accordance to the Book of Common Prayer (1979) and approved liturgical supplementary materials. This new book remedies the lack of resources regarding the Episcopal funeral service, building upon the format and success of Preparing a Catholic Funeral.
