Book of the Dead: Communion of Saints

Our dearly departed loved ones need the prayers of the living to facilitate their journey into heaven. The dead may go to purgatory which is a transition time transforming the soul into a heavenly state allowing final admittance into heaven. A living person's prayers ease this transformation. Simply put, the purpose of this book is to allow a Christian to create a list of dearly departed that will be prayed for. Nobody wants to forget past loved ones and nobody wants to be forgotten.
