:Funeral poems and verses can offer comfort and reflection during a deeply difficult time. They provide a meaningful way to honour a loved one, capturing emotions that can often be hard to express. Some poems bring a sense of peace and uplift, while others may be more poignant, heartfelt, or even gently humorous in celebrating a life well lived.

If you feel uncertain about reading a longer piece, or wish to keep the service concise, a shorter poem can be just as powerful. A few carefully chosen lines can serve as a touching and memorable tribute to your loved one and the legacy they leave behind.

🪖❤️ REMEMBERANCE DAY ❤️🪖

In Flanders Fields - poem by John McCrae

In Flanders' fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders' fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders' Fields.
