Death is not a Joyful Occurrence by Evang. S. Ade Ogunniran- Part Two- BURIAL

         Burial means coveying of the remains of man with dust after the spirit would have departed from him. Burial is the same between one religion and the other. There is no dictionary that affliates burial to ceremony. There is difference between burial and ceremony.
What we are going to consider in the course of this study is Christian burial according to the Bible.

Few cases of death and burial in the bible

•    Burial of Sarah   -        Gen 23:1-4, 19
•     Burial of Jacob   -        Gen 50:7-11, 3
•     Burial of Aron     -        Num. 20:29
•     Burial of Moses  -        Deut. 34:7-8
•     Burial of Samuel -        1Samuel 25:1
•     Burial of Jesus the Lord  -     Matt. 27:59-60
•     Burial of Stephen         -        Acts 8:2
•     Death of Dorcas -        Acts 9:36-39
•     The Pope John Paul 11 was like that of Jacob which was observed and the experience of the burial pattern that is rampant in the church of God today is against the scriptures, which prove that mourning is the last honour in respect of the dead.

The dead (The sinners) and the accursed cannot receive the honour that is meant for a good person. Jeremiah 16:3-5, 22:17-19, 25:33, Acts 5:5-10.
