Moving On After Death

funeral program

Every religion and culture has its own way of having a funeral or memorial service. The Catholic religions funerals are filled with candles and prayers and are very serious solemn affairs. The Jewish traditions for funerals are very formal in the rituals that they follow. Buddhist believe that you must burn the dead in a cremation ceremony while the monks chant.

Jesus died for the sins of the whole world once and for all so that there is no need to use animal blood to the sacrifice. The blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse and purify us from all kinds of sins. In the Old Testament, the Israelites get saved by their works, through obeying and doing the commandments of God. In the New Testament, salvation is open to not just the Israelites but to everyone around the world who put their faith in Jesus. By having faith in Jesus, we can get saved.


funeral homes usually want to know how you are going to pay for those costs, and the subject tends to come up at the worst possible time. This time would be right after a loved one passes away. It can be very stressful to come up with the money or arrange financing at a sad time when so many details need to be attended to.

Card or letter, phone calls or email. A card is always appreciated as it is a long-term keepsake. If you didn't know the person well, an email will suffice.


Grieving is a process which has quite a clear and precise beginning but not such a clear ending. My grieving started when I received my husband's death certificate but when does the grieving end? There are some signs which might help to interpret the situation.

Maybe there were some conversations you never had the opportunity to have or you never told someone how much you cared. Maybe your last projects weren't done or your autobiography wasn't finished. Make peace with your final words through your message and tell all about your vision and purpose of good intentions. Say what you have to say to whomever regarding whatever.



Years past, the grave and its existence disappeared. A tractor mower had knocked over the temporary grave marker, and weeds soon engulfed this neglected resting-place. It was almost as if the man had never lived at all. It remained that way for almost seven years following his death.

The Gathering. This precious time was limited to family and closest friends. It was held in an informal setting arranged at the funeral home to share more stories and memories about Mom. It was a time of celebration for the special person she was to each of us.
