COMMITTAL WORDS:

Seeing now that our brother has been set free from the physical body to enter into a new life with a spiritual body stronger and better than the flesh, we commit his spirit into God’s hands. We give thanks to God for the gift of his earthly life; for the promise of a sure resurrection, and a happy reunion in the Life to come. Glorious is the Life of the Spirit, and glorious is the thought that each stage of life faithfully lived is a step nearer to that Heavenly Home promised by God
