The Orthodox funeral service is a finely balanced fusion of lamentation and prayer for the loved one who has left this earth together with a clear affirmation of the promise of life eternal offered through Christ. It is for the departed a "Door to Paradise." "Blessed is the way wherein You walk today, for there is prepared for You a place of rest." The hymns are sung to Byzantine chant in English rendered clearly and melodiously by a single chanter. The accompanying 28 page jacket booklet provides an overview of the Orthodox understanding of Paradise and the liturgical structure of the Funeral Service, together with the full text of all the hymns rendered.
