Which rite is described as a Liturgical Protestant Funeral Rite?

• A. Synod
• B. Mormon Funeral Rite
• C. Lutheran Funeral Rite
• D. Amish Funeral Rite

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how a funeral rite can be liturgical within a Protestant tradition. A liturgical funeral rite follows a fixed, formal order of worship with prescribed prayers, readings, hymns, and responses led by a clergy member. The Lutheran Funeral Rite is the clear example because Lutherans maintain a defined funeral liturgy—structured elements and liturgical language that reflect its Protestant, formally organized worship pattern. The other options don’t fit this idea: a synod is a governing body, not a funeral rite; Mormon funeral rites belong to the Latter-day Saint tradition and aren’t Protestant; Amish funeral practices are simple and non-liturgical.
