As Christians, we believe that death is not the end, but a beginning... a rebirth to our new home. Even though we can no longer be with our loved ones here on earth, in time, we will be reunited with them forever at the Heavenly Banquet. The funeral liturgy is one of the most beautiful liturgies of the Church; it expresses hope and our victory over death.
