"Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift of life which has now been returned to God, the author of life and the hope of the just.  The Mass, the memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, is the principal celebration of the Christian funeral.  The celebration of the Christian funeral brings hope and consolation to the living."
