Funeral Homilies

Edited by Liam Swords

Provides the book homilies by some best known homilists, arranged under seven headings – the death of a young person; a parent; death of the elderly; tragic death; a handicapped person; after a long illness; and a single person.

This collection of reflective pieces by theologians, liturgists, scripture scholars, historians, journalists and broadcasters will be a useful resource for the priest to draw upon a wide pastoral experience.
