In Baptism each Christian shares in Christ’s dying and rising, and receives the promise of eternal and abundant life in him. A Christian funeral rests upon the promises of Baptism and affirms that, in death, a Christian’s Baptism is complete.

We do not grieve in isolation, but are sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit and the community of faith.
