The Good Funeral and the Empty Tomb
Because the defining truth of Christianity is the empty tomb (John 19:38–42), our theology is shaped by our eschatology, by our best hopes for the living and the dead. The “good funeral” is therefore an exercise in eschatology. It is the way we serve the living by caring for the dead.
