Best Answer

Christian funerals usually begin with a prayer, followed by a preacher (or another person who knew the deceased well) speaking about the deceased's life. There are songs, often that were favorites of the deceased, and a prayer before people go past the casket to say their last good-byes. The family usually goes to the casket last and spends a few moments alone with the deceased.

Those going to the cemetery form a line of cars, with the hearse followed by the family and everyone else behind them. There is a short message (very short) at the grave site.

Christian beliefs in life after death are shown in the events of a Christian funeral through prayer and flowers and candles and speeches and happiness and a vicar that conducts the ceremony and all of the mourners that arrive at the ceremony to say goodbye to the deceased and the family and friends of the deceased that are there to say a final, emotional goodbye and sometimes photos and music that the person who is gone liked and last but obviously not least the coffin.

All in all a Christian funeral is related to how Christians see life after death through love and hope and purpose. All Christians believe that they will someday meet their loved one again and so this gives hope and meaning to a persons life.

It also helps a Christian recover after losing a loved one because that is always an incredibly sad time but even though the loss of someone you care about is a terrible time it always helps to just remember that they will be waiting for you when it is your time to move on as well. A Christian funeral really portrays all of these factors by just reminding everyone of the wonderful person who has left the world.

Hope this helps... Sorry if it doesn't.
