1928 Book of Common Prayer

Anglican funeral services will involve readings, hymns and prayers, and a eulogy, which is a speech about the person who died.

Catholics have a Requiem Mass where many special prayers are said for the soul of the deceased. They may also celebrate Holy Communion which reminds them of Jesus' Last Supper and the sacrifice he made for the sins of people. Many believe that this sacrifice gave Christians the opportunity of eternal life in Heaven.

What does Islam say about family life?

Families are considered to be at the heart of every Muslim community. Family life was created by Allah to keep society together and Muslims should follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad, who was married and raised a family.

The traditional Muslim family is an extended family. It usually includes parents, children, grandparents and elderly relatives. Most Muslims believe that extended families mean greater stability, continuity, love and support for each other.

Roles of men and women

Islamic law and practice recognise the differences between the sexes, resulting in different roles and obligations for men and women. However, many Muslims believe that men and women complement each other. The Qur'an states:

O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another.

Qur'an 49:13

In many Islamic societies, the woman's role is in the home and the man's role is in the public realm of the working world.

The Qur'an and the Hadith refer to the biological differences that mean men are generally physically stronger than women. Men, therefore, are regarded as protectors of women and families, and providers of financial support. Women are expected to have children and to fulfil the role of wife and mother.
