Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.’__ [Luke 24: 55 - 56 NIV] ### The burial process ![The burial process](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/dd7ee2cc-07b7-4d34-86d1-8c9b609305b7/shutterstock_200912468.jpg) - Burials are usually conducted by a priest or deacon and are attended by family and friends. - It is usual for the priest to wear dark (black or purple) vestments to represent sadness, but they sometimes wear white as a sign of faith in the resurrection. - Traditionally, dead Catholics would be buried in consecrated ground. - These days Catholics are allowed to be cremated in most dioceses. ### Views on funeral rites ![Views on funeral rites](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/31d45be6-8420-44c8-b680-fbb623287133/shutterstock_312464573.jpg) - The funeral rite itself is not a sacrament but it is an important part of Catholic liturgy, expressing many parts of Christian faith. - Although a time of sadness for the deceased person’s family, the funeral rite is an expression of faith in the resurrection of the dead. ### Views on funeral rites (continued) ![Views on funeral rites (continued)](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/6941ae47-f0e7-4aaf-a64a-f4c509c239a9/shutterstock_664197991.jpg) - Family and friends can pay their respects, offer prayers, and speak about the person’s life. - Catholics believe that those who have died await the resurrection and the day of judgement. - They also look forward to being reunited in heaven with their loved one. This is a source of consolation. ## Before Burial or Cremation Before burial or cremation, there's a service in the church, of prayers and sometimes a special Mass called a Requiem Mass (‘requiem’ comes from the Latin for ‘peace’). ### Vigil ![Vigil](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/2e27b3f8-cba0-4241-9f2b-0a671e7dd471/shutterstock_1030954108.jpg) - Sometimes the deceased person is brought to the church the night before the funeral and there's a short service of prayers called a vigil. ### Requiem Mass ![Requiem Mass](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/f8322b60-2a1c-42ba-9aa4-0f59635d8e7e/shutterstock_723621043.jpg) - If there is to be a Mass, the special funeral prayers become part of the prayers of the Mass. - The prayers ask for the deceased to be welcomed into heaven, and for consolation for family and friends. ### Paschal candle ![Paschal candle](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/c1f3cdfa-39e5-4518-9240-9921859b1d78/shutterstock_302471000.jpg) - Beside the coffin is the paschal candle, which was first lit at Easter and symbolises the risen Christ. ### Homily ![Homily](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/316f4991-dd04-40c8-b8a6-3439cfd62f5e/shutterstock_1026777361.jpg) - Usually, the priest will give a homily emphasising the Christian faith in the resurrection of the dead. ### Tribute ![Tribute](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/d9c1e0d0-59b2-4973-9044-8f54dff43985/shutterstock_1057816100.jpg) - Sometimes, a family member will say some words in tribute to the person that has died. ### Prayers ![Prayers](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/009e7efd-64e8-4772-ad5e-98ab719ee0de/shutterstock_369951368.jpg) - Special prayers are said over the coffin of the deceased, which is blessed with holy water as a sign of baptism, and often incense is used as a mark of respect. - The final prayers in the church are prayers of committal, as the coffin is then taken either to the cemetery or the crematorium where final prayers are said. ## Test yourself on Funeral Rites - Which of these are true of a Catholic burial? - What's Mass called when it involves special funeral prayers? - What's placed beside the coffin at a Catholic funeral? - What do we call the short service of prayers a night before a funeral?
