Abstract An essay on funeral service at the rural Gauribidanur congregation of the Karnataka Central Diocese of the Church of South India. It explores the significance people attached to the Bible, a religious artifact in the service. The author relates his experience with his first funeral service and questions how the Bible has become central in the ritual of songs, prayers, and readings, among these people.
