About Funeral Poems and Verses

A lot of people read out poems at wakes and funerals. They have a lot of positive effect because something which is beautifully written and sensible expressed can actually have a soothing effect on the bereaving. There is a growing collection of funeral poems. Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. But in any case funeral poems serve like an ode to the person who died.

For all human beings grief is the most difficult to face and the loss of someone dear to us is very hard to cope. Only time heals such grief but in the mean while if there are words of comfort sometimes they help the grieving people by giving them a different perspective of the unfortunate event. We learn to cope with the situation at least temporarily. Writing and reading funeral poems is very beneficial for the bereaving family until the funeral process is complete. It is a form of emotional support.

There are a lot of funeral poems which are written by famous poets and also there are poems which are written by anonymous people too but they re very good. If you know the person very well and you would like to write it in your own words about that person, you could do that too. But ensure it is not over whelming because it might upset the bereaving family. A poem should be written subtly and ensure it is not too emotional.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: The Spiritual Classic & International Bestseller

Amazon Price: $9.97 (as of 05/27/2012)Buy Now

Popular Tibetan teacher Sogyal Rinpoche has transformed that ancient text, conveying a perennial philosophy that is at once religious, scientific, and practical. Through extraordinary anecdotes and stories from religious traditions East and West, Rinpoche introduces the reader to the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism, moving gradually to the topics of death and dying. Death turns out to be less of a crisis and more of an opportunity. Concepts such as reincarnation, karma, and bardo and practices such as meditation, tonglen, and phowa teach us how to face death constructively.

Funeral Quote ~James F. Bymes

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.

    As a minister, I have performed many a funeral. I have used poems by Edgar Guest many times. Good lens.
