The death of a loved one is a difficult experience for those who grieve. However, we are comforted by our Christian faith in Christ, who conquered death and leads the way to eternal life. This short booklet explores the Catholic understanding of eternal life, provides an overview of the primary funeral rites (the Vigil, Funeral Liturgy, and Committal), and offers practical ways we can remember those who have died.  The questions at the end of each short chapter will help readers find hope in the promise of resurrection.

"Pastoral experience from a lifetime in the trenches of liturgical ministry and a personal spirituality deepened through becoming intimately acquainted with “Sister Death” permeate this fresh yet wonderfully traditional vade mecum to accompany Catholics walking by faith when death touches our lives and those of family and friends. The rites and prayers of the Order of Christian Funerals and the Book of Blessings as well as many rich customs rooted in the Catholic heritage of Anglo and Hispanic communities emerge as renewed old friends or invitations to new friendships. From the opening act of faith to the final discussion question and evocative drawing, this booklet provides a concise, fresh, and eminently accessible addition to the must-read list of pastoral newcomers and experienced practitioners alike."

“Victoria Tufano has written an eloquent, yet brief, booklet which gives a clear understanding of our Catholic faith and Catholic liturgical practices surrounding death and funerals. Her thoughtful presentation of these topics is sure to become a valuable parish resource for families preparing for a loved one’s death or funeral liturgy.”
—Jeanne Marie Miles
Office for Worship,
Director Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio
