[Blue Book, page 204 (second prayer, middle of the page)]:
We have entrusted N. to God’s mercy, and we commit her body to the ground [or to be cremated], earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Savior Jesus Christ, who died and is risen, and who at his coming in glory, will transform our bodies so that they may be conformed to his glorious body. To Christ be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
