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.

There is No Death

There is no death
Energy cannot be destroyed

There is poetry, music, love
But no death

The spirit arrives
Dancing through humankind

The spirit moves
Departing sleeping bones

Even in great wars
Death is not sovereign
Energy cannot be destroyed

A wave breaks on rocks
Emitting a roar
Its power transformed
From rage to music
The seductive snarl of the sea
Altered
But never abolished

There is no death
This I know
For I have no end
