Funeral

Death of a loved one is a difficult and emotionally painful event. In the midst of various emotions and questions, many practical things have to be organized.

This page has been made to help those organizing a funeral in Helsinki.

Although the organization of a funeral might feel difficult and seem hard, it can also be part of the mourning process and a way to find strength to continue on in life.

The Christian faith provides a perspective of hope alongside the grief and sadness of facing funerals and death. There is something behind the border as well, and the road there is already signposted.

THE LIFE OF MORTALS IS LIKE GRASS, THEY FLOURISH LIKE
A FLOWER OF THE FIELD; THE WIND BLOWS OVER IT AND IT IS GONE, AND ITS PLACE REMEMBERS IT NO MORE. BUT FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING
THE LORD’S LOVE IS

(PSALM 103:15-17)
