Funeral poems

Although funerals are sad events they are a lovely way of remembering a loved one who has passed away, and can be comforting to those who were close. Meaningful poems and verses are a good way of marking the life of someone and putting thoughts and memories into words. Remember that when selecting your poems, you don't have to focus on the subject of death; a funeral can be a celebration of the life of your loved one. You may want to describe how they enjoyed their life, memorable events, or talk about all the things they achieved during their life.

You may know of an existing poem which holds meaning for the person who has died, alternatively a family member or close friend could take it upon themselves to write something new.
