The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations Preface

our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our
Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body,
according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
