Dienst am Wort: Bestattung

Więcej o książce

The cemetery has lost its significance as a primary site for mourning, prompting society to seek individual rituals and alternative funerals. Lutz Friedrichs offers proposals for organizing funeral services and new liturgical forms. The culture of burial has notably diversified, with cemeteries no longer holding a monopoly on mourning practices. In uncertain times, individuals are searching for meaning and comfort, exploring new burial sites and personal forms of memorial services. Even in church funerals, the deceased's favorite song is now included. The active involvement of mourners in the grieving process is increasingly important. Rather than simply proclaiming God's presence, there is a need to collaboratively seek understanding with the bereaved. Friedrichs presents various models that encourage pastoral and diaconal practices, focusing on empathy and individual needs while drawing from traditional backgrounds to create meaningful worship and sermons. These models range from urn burials in forest cemeteries to social funerals involving cemetery staff, and even Christmas Eve services held in cemeteries. The sermons reflect a shared attitude of learning from the deceased, as Hilde Domin insightfully notes, acknowledging the profound mystery of each individual and the challenge of articulating it in the face of death.
