Famous Funeral Poems
Welcome to Famous Funeral Poems, which includes the one used in the famous movie Four Weddings and a Funeral, the one read out at the Queen Mothers funeral and the one called Spending Christmas with Jesus This Year. Here's a lovely quote by Admiral (Lord) Louis Mountbatten “I can't think of a more wonderful thanksgiving for the life I have had than that everyone should be jolly at my funeral”

She said my place was readyIn heaven far above;And that I'd have to leave behind,All those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away,A tear fell from my eye;For all my life, I'd always thoughtI didn't want to die.I had so much to live for,So much yet to do;It seemed almost impossible,That I was leaving you.I thought of all the yesterdays,The good ones and the bad;I thought of all the love we shared,And all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterdayJust even for awhile,I'd say goodbye and kiss youAnd maybe see you smile.But then I fully realizedThat this could never be;For emptiness and memoriesWould take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly thingsI might miss come tomorrow;I thought of you, and when I did,My heart was filled with sorrow.But when I walked through heaven's gatesI felt so much at home;When God looked down and smiled at meFrom His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternityAnd all I've promised you;Today your life on earth is past,But here it all starts anew.""I promise no tomorrow,But today will always last;And since each day's the same day,There's no longing for the past.""But you have been so faithful,So trusting and so true;Though at times you did do things,You knew you shouldn't do.""But you have been forgivenAnd now at last you're free;So won't you take my handAnd share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,Don't think we're far apartFor every time you think of me,I'm right here in your heart. Safely HomeI am home in Heaven, dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this Everlasting Light. All the pain and grief are over! Every restless yearning past; I am now at peace forever, Safely Home in Heaven at last. Dear one, do not grieve so sorely,For I love you dearly still;Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,Pray to trust Our Father’s Will. When your work is completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh! the rapture of that meeting! Oh, the joy to see you come! Letting Go The Angels gathered near your bed,so very close to you.For they knew the pain and sufferingthat you were going through.I thought about so many things,as I held tightly to your hand.Oh, how I wished that you werestrong and happy once again.But your eyes were looking homeward, to that place beyond the sky.Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye.I struggled with my selfish thoughts,for I wanted you to stay.So we could walk and talk again,like we did - just yesterday.But Jesus knew the answer,and I knew He loved you so.So I gave to you life’s greatest gift,the gift of letting go. Boyzone sing Ronan tribute to stephen gately Keith Funeral Songs Westlife Life Goes On If I should go before the rest of you Break not a flower Nor inscribe a stone Nor when I am gone Speak in a Sunday voice But be the usual selves That I have known Weep if you must Parting is hell But life goes on So .... sing as well Joyce Grenfell 1910-1979 There is no night without a dawning No winter without a spring And beyond the dark horizon Our hearts will once more sing.... For those who leave us for a while Have only gone away Out of a restless, care worn world Into a brighter day Helen Steiner Rice As I look up to the skies above As I look up to the skies above,The stars stretch endlessly--But somehow all those rays of lightSeem dimmer now to me.As I watch the morning sun appear,The shadows still don't fade—As if the brightest light of allWas somehow swept away. Though I see the branches swaying,And watch their dancing leaves--The echoes carried on the windDon't sound the same to me.As I listen to the morning birdsSing softly from afar--It seems to be a mournful tuneThat echoes in my heart. Another day has come again,As time moves surely on--But nothing now seems quite the same,To know that he is gone.The days and weeks and months aheadWill never be the same--Because a treasure beyond wordsCan never be replaced. The loss cannot be measured now,The void cannot be filled--And though someday the grief may fade,His mark will live on still.For even with my heavy heart,I know that I've been blessedTo have been one who's life he touchedWith warmth so infinite. Abide With Me Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide!When other helpers fail and comforts flee,Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;Change and decay in all around I see;O Thou who changes not, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour;What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. You Meant So Much - Cassie Mitchell. This could be used when the death is the result of suicide You meant so much to all of usYou were special and that's no lieYou brightened up the darkest dayAnd the cloudiest sky Your smile alone warmed heartsYour laugh was like music to hearI would give absolutely anythingTo have you well and standing near Not a second passesWhen you're not on our mindsYour love we will never forgetThe hurt will ease in time Many tears I have seen and criedThey have all poured out like rainI know that you are happy nowAnd no longer in any pain.
