Church news
At Granton United Church
Rev. Bruce Pierce was in
charge of morning worship.
Taking the text for his sermon
from Ephesians IV verses 7 to
16. The minutes entitled his
message "The goal of the
church". It is not enough to
accept Christ as your Saviour
and never go any farther",
said the minister.
To reach the perfection
tound in Christ, that is our
goal in the church. This is
something that you and I are
committed to do. We must not
stop, no matter how high the
standard. Unity of Spirit and
giving ourselves to God's pur-
pose, that too should be our
goal for the church.

mirror was dedicated in
memory of the late Pearl
Dann, donated by her family.

ONTARIO FUNERAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION
Are funerals barbaric?
From the beginning of
history, mankind has marked
.major transitional life events
with ceremony. The ceremony
or the reason for ceremony
may differ from culture to
culture but every culture has
its ceremonies. In our culture
we have the ceremony of bap-
tism or dedication at birth, bir-
thday ceremonies celebrating
each year of life, commence-
ment ceremonies marking the
accomplishment of education,
and wedding ceremonies
celebrating the union of two
people.
The funeral is a ceremony
in which we mark the end of
a life. A philosopher once said
"Show me how a culture cares
for their dead and i'II tell you
about their value of life." The
reason we have ceremony is
because we place major value
on those significant life events
which mark a change in the
state of life or a passage.
in the funeral ceremony
we especially show our value
of life, as is indicated by the
philosopher, because the very
thing we are commemorating
is the life which was lived by
the deceased.
We have all heard the
statement "When I die just put
me in a garbage bag and
cremate me." This statement
is a selfish one. Humanly
speaking, there is nothing we
can do for a dead person
which should indicate to us
that the funeral ceremony is
for the benefit of the living. As
with most ceremonies, the
funeral has risen out of human
need. It would take books to
describe every psychological
value of a funeral, but for our
purposes, let us just look at a
brief overview of some of
these values.
When someone we love
dies, every fibre of our beings
attempts to find some way to
avoid admission to this death.
Without admission to the
death, we would be living in
a mental fantasy which is of
course, psychologically
unhealthy. When our eyes are
assaulted with the reality of the
death in viewing the dead per-
son's body, it is near impossi-
ble to escape admission to the
death.
Visitation allows us to
share the pain of our grief with
friends who help us remember
accurately the life of the
deceased. Grief shared is grief
dissipated—meaning that the
intensity of our pain is
lessened.
We then have a funeral
service which often reaffirms
religious beliefs and helps us
to have hope for the future.
The disposition of the body
represents the separation of the
living from the dead in that we
leave the body in a cemetery
or crematorium and go back to
society.
If a person truly wants his
survivors to "get over" his
death as quickly and as
painlessly as possible, he will
have a funeral ceremony. The
pain of grief will surface
sooner of later. If we choose
to handle this grief in a healthy
manner, we will be much bet-
ter off as a society. The choice
is ours to make.
Are funerals barbaric? In
the light of this writing, it
could be more accurately said
that not to mark the end of the
most valuable of all human
possessions, that being life
itself, would be barbaric.
Perhaps we should re-examine
the value of our life and begin
to celebrate it daily.
For more information
about the funeral ceremony
and its reflection of the value
of life, contact your local
OFSA funeral director.
This article written by
Bruce Armstrong, a practic-
ing funeral director from
Port Colborne, is meant to
help us understand how the
funeral has value.
