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.
We Will Laugh Again
It seems to me
That sometime
We will meet again
If only to share
Laughter…
It seems to me
That once more
We must do
Funny stuff
Silly stories shared
Whispering, lisping
Absurdities…
We need to giggle
At the wrong moments
Parties, wakes and funerals
People dressed up weird
Hats too big
Clothes too small
And laugh out loud
Quite unexpectedly
In moments
That should be silent
We need to meet again
And smile
At silly things
The memories
Of our laughter
Make me cry
Yet this I know
That laughter
Good and strong
Its echo and its power
Doesn’t die away
And that is why
I know that
We will meet again
So we can share
Real laughter
