This thesis examines the relationship between the process of grieving and the Roman Catholic funeral rituals with which a Christian's death is marked and celebrated. The thesis draws on the conviction that remembering will play a significant part in the grief process and will make it possible to hope. If such is the case, then our funeral rituals must provide environments of care in which remembering within the context of the Christian story might take place. The conclusion reached is that an imaginative use of the Order of Christian Funerals does indeed offer scope for remembering. The study was undertaken within the Australian context and drew on responses to a questionnaire designed to assess use of the Order in the Australian church.
