summary

In the first part of his book On Funerals and Burials, Prof. Piťha takes a detached view and an informal historicising style and provides an overview of the four last things that most people encounter when grieving a loss and feeling anxiety from loneliness and hopelessness.
The words of spiritual consolation in the collected speeches and sermons from 2001–2022 in the second part of the book provide not only a source of encouragement for the bereaved, but also an example for future preachers, showing how to sensitively articulate human and Divine forgiveness during the last farewell and how to come to terms with the inevitable and believe in afterlife through expression of humility.
