Children are curious and want to explore their environment. They ask many questions, even in foreign and difficult situations in life. The death of a person and their funeral are such challenging situations that raise many questions. Children want to know how a funeral takes place, what happens there, and why it is done. The booklet about funeral customs provides answers to these questions. The illustrations are created by elementary school children and capture the funeral situation from a child's perspective. The explanations come from high school students who have partially experienced funerals and formulate their answers based on this background, which they developed in religious education classes. This funeral guide is a book that sensitively accompanies children in the special situation of a funeral and helps them process their experiences and engage in a shared conversation. It particularly addresses elementary school students, but even beyond this age, the booklet offers appropriate answers. The editor, Dr. Christian Butt, is a pastor in Hamburg and works on the "Church and School" project of the Hamburg-East church district.
