This is part one of a remarkably interesting seven-lecture series titled "A Christian Ending to Our Lives." These lectures examine far-reaching subjects associated with the Christian process of death and burial. The lectures are devoted to the remembrance of death, the significance of aging, the meaning of the funeral service and burial, the tradition of Christian cemeteries and memorial customs, and the ancient and universal practice of praying for the repose of the departed.
