Burial of the Dead
This is the funeral rite for burial of a baptized Christian. It includes these elements:
- Anthems
- Psalms
- Scripture readings
- Prayers
The Book of Common Prayer provides traditional and contemporary liturgies.
This rite may serve as the liturgy of the word at a Requiem Eucharist (when there is communion at the Burial of the Dead). The commendation and the committal of the remains follow the communion of the people and the postcommunion prayer.
The burial rites in the Book of Common Prayer also include the following:
- Apostles’ Creed.
- A special form of the prayers of the people.
- Forms for the consecration of the grave.
- Additional prayers that may be added after the Lord’s Prayer.
The Book of Common Prayer also provides an Order for Burial. This service permits the composition of a rite to suit particular circumstances “when, for pastoral considerations, neither of the burial rites in this Book is deemed appropriate.”
The Book of Occasional Services provides appropriate texts for the burial of a person who was not a baptized Christian or who rejected the Christian faith.
The burial office is an Easter liturgy. The liturgical color is appropriately white. The Paschal candle should be lighted as a visible reminder of Jesus’ resurrection and our hope of life everlasting in Christ.
At the Burial of the Dead, those who mourn may express grief and sorrow as they share in the community’s expression of faith, hope, and mutual support in Jesus Christ.

Church of the Redeemer
Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
