Based on the How to Be a Perfect Stranger: A Guide to Etiquette in Other People's Religious Ceremonies. The handbook for how to respond in an appropriate way when someone dies—no matter what their faith or denomination. Few of us are ever prepared for the loss of a relative, friend or colleague. This stressful situation can be made worse if we are unfamiliar with the practices and rituals of the deceased person’s religious tradition. This complete guide provides all the answers you need to express your condolences and show your respect in the appropriate way regardless of the religious tradition involved, addressing many common concerns, including: Will there be a ceremony—what will it be like, and how long will it last? What should I wear? What should I avoid doing, wearing, saying? Are flowers appropriate? What is the appropriate behavior if viewing the body? These are just a few of the basic, very practical questions answered in this unique etiquette guide covering all the major (and many minor) denominations and religions found in North America—from Hindu to Presbyterian, from Mennonite to Sikh—helping you to do the right thing in a difficult situation. Covers all the major (and many minor) denominations and religions found in North America: African American Methodist Churches Assemblies of God Baha’i Baptist Buddhist Christian and Missionary Alliance Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Christian Congregation Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) Church of the Brethren Church of the Nazarene Churches of Christ Episcopalian and Anglican Evangelical Free Church Greek Orthodox Hindu International Church of theFoursquare Gospel International Pentecostal Holiness Church Islam Jehovah’s Witnesses Jewish Lutheran Mennonite/Amish Methodist Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) Native American/First Nations Orthodox Churches Pentecostal Church of God Presbyterian Quaker (Religious Society ofFriends) Reformed Church in America/Canada Roman Catholic Seventh-day Adventist Sikh Unitarian Universalist United Church of Canada United Church of Christ Wesleyan

In 1943 thirteen year old Ben was suddenly faced with the death of his elderly father. During the funeral he realized that he would never be able to talk to or see his father again. He felt that he was utterly alone in this world.Seventy-six years later, Ben recounts his years of growing up without his father. He remembers how he survived by relying upon Jesus Christ and his faith in Him. He explains the importance of the local school and the people of the community who helped him and the rest of his family to survive. He shows us the importance of having a strong Christ based family, community, society and nation in which to raise our children. Ben points us to the One who comforts and protects those of us who will accept and live for Him. He guides us through this world where we are strangers as we travel towards our real home that He is preparing for us. Ben's story and the message of hope that it imparts is pertinent to all of us, both as individuals and as a nation, that are searching for the best life as Christians who are indeed 'strangers in a foreign land.'

As unflinching as it is graceful, Gary L. McDowell's second collection, Weeping at a Stranger's Funeral, intones an elegy and prayer for all of us. Stippled by loam and lit by awe, these elliptical lyrics wander and leap, tenderly tracing a map of human limitations and luminosities. McDowell's charged fragments and micro-narratives spiral in constellation inwardly and outwardly at the same time, toward discovery and return, the primal and paradoxical motion of being. Reading this book reminds me of what I love about poetry! -Chad Sweeney Weeping at a Stranger's Funeral has done the impossible-made an odyssey of the mind that is just as compelling as the eponymous one, only McDowell never leaves home. His ships and sorceresses and capricious gods are domestic. In this amazing undertaking, the poet regards his life, addressing his imagination, ...thrilling us with aphorisms that pierce and pervert. "Pigeons can't tell the difference between night and a vision of night," McDowell writes. The difference makes no difference, he suggests, and that's what makes this book, which is both odyssey and tapestry, poetry at its best. -Larissa Szporluk In these stunningly mosaic-worked poems, Gary L. McDowell pieces together the fractured quotidian bits of familial relationships and loss, place, and domestic ritual. In paratactic shards and glittering non sequiturs, this art of assembly is both recuperative and illusory, and like traditional Japanese ceramicists who aggrandized the fault-lines by gilding cracks and breaks in pots, the spaces between McDowell's rivetingly attentive lines in Weeping at a Stranger's Funeral allow in breath, light, river, and sky. -Lee Ann Roripaugh The way to tell a story is to circle the story, reporting flashbacks and definitions, interrupting with domestic news flashes and small factoids. Also, be mindful of the narrative that is the present tense of the story's telling. Whatever comes along, in other words. These assemblages, accumulations of disparate detail (images, quotes from numerous other texts), flare up in the mind as the TRUTH, since language best stumbles its way toward insight and self-revelation. "All lies have basic truths in common," writes McDowell in Weeping at a Stranger's Funeral, a book full of dead-on specifics, luminous miscomprehensions, and portentous sounding approximations. Not one line in this collection of dispatches does less than delight and amaze. McDowell's poems are wise and hilarious. I couldn't stop reading them. -David Dodd Lee Gary L. McDowell is the author of Weeping at a Stranger's Funeral and American Amen (Dream Horse Press) and co-editor of The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Prose Poetry (Rose Metal Press). He lives in Nashville, TN with his family where he is an assistant professor of English at Belmont University.

Married to a Stranger is an epic story of deceit and falsehood beneath malignant pretense. Ugo believed that Ephrem was sincere until the events at his funeral proved otherwise. The book is a valuable lesson and a tough warning for everyone to respect Africa's age old saying that the monkey can only vouch for the child in her womb because she may not know when the one on her back plucked a fruit. - Dr. Munashe Furusa, Professor of Africana Studies, California State University, Dominguez Hills. Dr. Uche Ugwueze's illuminating work draws upon her rootedness and indepth understanding of human dispositions and attitudes. It thoughtfully examines the downturns in our everyday lives and relationships- an impressive volume that provides essential reading for courses in African cultures and female roles in society. The book is highly recommended. - Dr Skyne Uku-Wertimer, Professor, Black Studies Department, California State University, Long Beach

This invaluable anthology is the first and only collection dedicated to the art of the eulogy. For the past several years, Phyllis Theroux has collected the most eloquent and moving writing commemorating a death, assessing a life, or offering solace to the bereaved. Ranging from Thomas Jefferson's magisterial eulogy for George Washington to Anna Quindlen's affectionate memorial for her grandmother; from Helen Keller's words about her dear friend Mark Twain to Adlai Stevenson's about Eleanor Roosevelt, The Book of Eulogies establishes that great eulogies are a celebration of remarkable lives that can illuminate, confirm, inspire, and redirect our own. Theroux has included some of the world's most well-known tributes, such as Pericles' Funeral Oration, Jules Michelet's appreciation of Jeanne d'Arc, Victor Hugo's ringing words on the one hundredth anniversary of Voltaire's death, Cardinal Suenens's eulogy for Pope John XXIII. But most of the eulogized assembled here are eighteenth- to twentieth-century Americans, and the stories of their lives illuminate our history with a particularly intimate light. In Robert Kennedy's extemporaneous remarks upon hearing of the death of Martin Luther King, or Eugene McCarthy's tribute to his friend and colleague, Hubert Humphrey, the values, wisdom, and spirit of both the eulogized and the eulogizer are revealed. The Book of Eulogies is a sourcebook for anyone who must find words of solace, understanding, and inspiration on the occasion of a beloved's death. It is also a treasury of astonishing eloquence, passion, and humanity -- a record of extraordinary lives, seen through the eyes of those who knew and loved them.
