We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of Friends who have permitted us to use material for this Faith and Practice.

 


Friends find that preparation for death is in many ways a preparation for deeper living. It includes an awareness that our lives will end and a realization that our lives have an eternal dimension.

 Death often faces us with the most difficult questions, and some of our most profound insights into the meaning of life. As Friends seek to surround the bereaved with love and care, the sustaining power of God can bring courage to all concerned and a transforming truth about death and life itself.
