Grief in any circumstance can be difficult to come to terms with. You want to express love and gratitude to a person for being in your life but also recognise the despair and heartache of their passing.It is not uncommon for more than one poem to be used throughout afuneral service. They can be read aloud or simply inserted in an order of service for quiet reflection by the reader.
Sometimes, a poem will sum up everything you want to say, yet trying to find the right one can be extremely hard especially during such an emotional time.
Some poems can express sorrow and seek comfort, whilst others mediate towards death, grief, loss and mortality.
Here we have carefully selected just a few of the most favourite poems used at a funeral.
