Order of Christian Funerals - Updated | Catholic Liturgical Book

The Order of Christian Funerals is the essential liturgical resource for offering Catholic funeral rites. This 2019 updated edition has been carefully aligned with The Roman Missal (2011) and includes Sacred Scripture texts from the current Lectionary for Mass, Volume IV (2002). Published by Catholic Book Publishing with approval from the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL), this comprehensive 440-page ritual book provides priests, deacons, and sacristans with all the prayers, readings, and ritual texts needed for vigils and funeral Masses.
