Another one of our textbooks we had and used was and is still a good referance is Types of Funeral Services and Ceremonies published by Professional Training Schools, Inc. 4722 Bronze Way. Dallas Texas. 1 (214) 333-4230 which is a part of the Peirce-Royal Bond Chemical Company. The book is avalible here, http://www.piercechemical.com/productcart/pc/Custva.asp (you may have to actually call them) it covers Liturgical and Non-Liturgical services, Protestant, Jewish, Catholic, Military and Fraternal Funeral Rites, many related definitions and how each service is conducted and the service traditions of each. I still refer to my school text books periodically as referance.
