Words can fail even the most articulate when called upon to speak at a loved one's funeral or memorial occasion. The bereaved desires to say something meaningful, yet services are often held so quickly that there is little time to find something appropriate at the library or bookstore. This book is a collection of poetry and prose appropriate for reading at a funeral or memorial service. To assist the reader in finding a suitable passage, the book is divided into eleven chapters. There are tributes for mothers; fathers; children; spouses and soulmates; friends; siblings and other close relatives; soldiers and victims of war or violence; pets; and general readings appropriate for men, women, or any loved one. These selections will also prove helpful for clergy, counselors, and hospice, hospital, and funeral professionals. Appendices list resources and support organizations, and each selection is indexed by author, title, and first line. A special additional index references pieces by famous uses, such as in a film, novel, or celebrity's funeral, so readers can locate a passage they remember from its context.

'Nothing is so completely beyond the power of death as a noble love. Parting can shatter only its outward shell. Under that strange touch, love in its inmost recesses kindles and glows with a diviner life.' George S Merriam.Today many people have only a nominal attachment to a religious denomination or faith tradition. Yet at a profound rite of passage such as the funeral of a loved one, they may still wish to hear words of spiritual comfort that are familiar, inspiring and dignified, and which express some belief in a higher power and a hope, in some sense, of a life hereafter. This book of 143 poems and short prose readings is suitable for the funeral or memorial service of someone who was, perhaps 'spiritual, but not religious' or who did not have a dogmatic faith, yet was not opposed to religious ideas. Many of the readings come from the humanistic Christian tradition, expressing hope in the example of Jesus to help us through the darkest times of our lives, and that a spiritual connection with our loved ones can survive death, in some way which is ultimately beyond our understanding. There are also readings which are not specifically Christian, and readings from other faith traditions. The readings maintain the familiar traditional style of the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, with the formality and dignity expected of a funeral or memorial service, from some of the world's greatest writers including Shakespeare, John Donne, Samuel Johnson, Robert Browning and Anne Bronte, as well as lesser-known but equally inspiring authors.

Whatever our loss, it is assuaged in finding a voice – and whether that voice is one of private remembrance or public memorial, The Picador Book of Funeral Poems will help you towards it.

Finding the right words at a time of loss can be frustrating. An experienced Unitarian Universalist minister and the author of In Memoriam: A Guide to Modern Funeral and Memorial Services, Edward Searl has been aiding people through this difficult passage for more than a quarter of a century. In Beyond Absence, he has collected powerful and inspiring writings, both religious and secular, from across the ages and around the world, to help anyone struggling with life's final transition. This extensive volume contains selections from the famous to the obscure and some works are previously uncollected. Contributors as varied as Thich Nhat Hahn, Thomas Wolfe, Vincent Van Gogh and Rabindranath Tagore explore many themes associated with death and dying including death as peace and rest, conflicted feelings about the dead, loss as transformation, healing and letting go, compassion for the bereaved, the joy of remembrance, and celebrating and honoring the dead. Perfect for composing eulogies and readings for memorials and funerals, Beyond Absence is also the ideal resource for creating sympathy and condolence cards, offering comfort to the bereaved, and engaging in personal reflection during mourning and recovery.
