Aridas provides a practical checklist for making funeral arrangements, a guide to planning a meaningful liturgy - with appropriate selections of readings and reflections for the Mass of Christian Burial - a summary of the Church's teaching on life after death, and a brief introduction to the major stages of the grieving process. He offers this book 'as a source of ready information to help you in time of need.'
