The very best funeral poems naturally discuss of sadness, and of loss. However they also have an uplifting feel. We will help you in choosing the prefect poem.
Over the years I have collected a scrapbook of funeral readings - and memorial service readings - that are non-religious in nature. Some are simple quotes, which are also useful in writing an eulogy.This following is an excellent reading to open the funeral or memorial service. This is a favorite reading of mine. It has been my experience that for many people, our biggest fear is not so much death but it is our fear that we will be forgotten after we are gone. We want our life to have had significance. We want to be remembered.
I feel this reading says it much better than I ever could.To the living I am goneTo the sorrowful I will never returnTo the angry I was cheatedBut to the happy, I am at peaceAnd to the faithful I have never left.I cannot speak but I can listen,I cannot be seen but I can be heard.So as you stand in a vast forest,Gazing at the stars,Remember meRemember me in your heart and in your thoughtsThe memories of the times we lovedThe memories of the time we shared.For if you always think of me, I will have never gone. The following is an appropriate reading for someone who has lived a long full life. It can be a nice way to end the service.T he cares of the world concern me no longerI have completed this lifeMy work is done,My family is happy and healthy in their pursuitsI have loved much and wellTo those I leave behindI hope I will remain in their hearts as they will in mineThank you for taking such good care of meAnd all of you who have been my friends, thank you forteaching me about life and about love.Apr 06, 20 01:03 PMLast night I dreamed I went to Heaven.
