Do you believe in the resurrection, pastor? Interview at Easter with Engelbert Birkle from Weilheim. As a pastor, how often do you have to deal with death? I counted, I have held over 500 funerals in the past ten years.

What does a good death mean to you? What I associate with dying well is dying with dignity, cared for by people who are good and well accompanied by medicine that helps to endure pain and fear. For me, good death means that I can look back on the life I lived and that many things have been reconciled.
