Interment

In John 11:25 “Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.’” Then He asked, “Do you believe this?” It is the Christian’s belief in Christ as the resurrection and the life and its validation or proof by Christ’s own resurrection from the grave that is the basis of our faith and hope and so comforts our hearts as we mourn and celebrate Bea’s life.

In sure and certain hope that, as Christ lived and was the first to rise from the dead, we too shall have new life and will join our heavenly Father along with all the saints in the new creation. We therefore commit _______ to the earth from which he/she was made, and lay to rest this mortal body that it might in time put on immortality. The Lord bless you and keep you ; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace. Amen.
