The Church teaches us that a funeral is a celebration of a loved one’s entrance into life in communion with the Lord. Thus the funeral mass is directed toward celebrating the life of the deceased and is an offering of consolation that through the Holy Spirit’s power and our hope in the risen Christ our loved ones are now away from the body and at home with the Lord.
The funeral, then, is our way of accompanying the believer at journey’s end in order to surrender him into the Father’s hands.
