The Lord Is My Shepherd
Lyrics- The Lord's my Shepherd I'll not want

He makes me lie in pastures green

He leads me by the still still waters

His goodness restores my soul

Chorus 1

And I will trust in You alone

And I will trust in You alone

For Your endless mercy follows me

Your goodness will lead me home

Verse 2

He guides my ways in righteousness

And He anoints my head with oil

And my cup it overflows with joy

I feast on His pure delights

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3

And though I walk the darkest path

I will not fear the evil one

For You are with me

And Your rod and staff

Are the comfort I need to know

(Repeat Chorus)

Descant

I will trust I will trust in You

I will trust I will trust in You

Endless mercy follows me

Goodness will lead me home

Funeral Rites are as old as the human race itself. Every culture and civilization  has attended to the proper care of their dead. Every human culture ever studied has three common threads for death and the disposition of their dead:

1) Some type of ceremony, funeral rite, or ritual
2) A sacred place for the dead
3) Memorials for the dead

Researchers have found burial grounds of Neanderthal man dating to 60,000 BC.With animal antlers on the body and flower fragments next to the corpse indicating.Some type of ritual and gifts to the deceased.

In the U.S., the funeral service industry is relatively new. Until the 20th century, funerals in the U.S were organized by family and neighbors and held at home. People were often buried on family property. As communities became larger and more established common cemeteries began to be used. Funeral homes were later established to relieve the family of the logistical problems presented by a death.

Funerals are very much about celebrating the deceased life or the celebration of life. Such ceremonies may be held outside the funeral home or place of religion for example parks, pubs and sporting facilities, choices based on the specific interests of the deceased. Celebrations of life focus on a life that was lived, including the person’s best qualities, interests, achievements and impact, rather than mourning a death. however funerals are not just for the deceased they are also for the family and friends that knew the person, these types of events allow them to grieve and be at peace with them.

A memorial service, called a funeral, is often officiated by clergy from the decedent's. A funeral may take place at either a funeral home, church, or crematorium or cemetery chapel. A funeral is held according to the family's choosing. A Roman Catholic funeral must take place in a parish church (usually that of the deceased). Sometimes family members or friends of the dead will say something special and or meaningful. If the funeral service takes place in the funeral home it can be directed by a clergy or hosted by a very close family member. These services if taking place in a funeral home consists of prayers, blessings and eulogies from the family.
