A resource for pastors and elders who minister to the dying, visit with families on the occasion of a death, and conduct funerals. Prayers and Scripture readings for many occasions are included, as well as three complete funeral (or memorial) services, a prayer service for miscarriage or stillborn birth, and a committal service. The manual is pocket-sized with a quality leather cover and includes four ribbon markers. The services, prayers, and Scripture readings are available in MS-DOS ASCII format on a 3.5 diskette.
