Funeral
Prayers
Working as a celebrant I discovered many funeral readings to be very ancient, strange or sentimental. So I started to write funeral prayers to support those I served. Today I have around 150 funeral readings for use by anyone who visits the Funeral Readings website. A selection of the most popular prayers and funeral readings are here.
Eternity
A Prayer in Honour of Eternity
Some say:
‘This is the end’
And think
‘I am coming to the end’
But there is no end
For eternity
Is in the soul…
It is in the mind
The bones
The body
The heart
Others say
‘I know about the end’
They imagine
They understand
Nothing
I only know
That any belief in the end
Is an idea
A passing thought
Without beginning
Or end
For eternity
Is in the soul…
It is in the mind
The spirit
Music
Laughter
And because I see and feel
And hear and taste
And sometimes remember
And sometimes do not remember
I welcome mystery
For I am eternal
And I know eternity
I have met eternity
I am without end
