Christian and Catholic funeral rites are solemn and reverent, with a relatively simple process. In Christian belief, death is not the end but the beginning of eternal life. The ceremony serves not only to remember the deceased but also as a solemn act of faith, entrusting the soul to God. Both traditions do not burn joss paper, incense, or set up ancestral tablets; instead, they honor the deceased with a cross, photo, Bible, and fresh flowers.
