Honouring Loved Ones with a Funeral Reading

Selecting the right funeral reading can be challenging, especially if you are unsure of where to start.

Whether you are attending a funeral or planning one, this article  will provide useful information and guidance on choosing an appropriate reading for a funeral.

Funeral Readings: What are they and why are they Important?

Funeral readings are a meaningful part of any funeral or memorial service.

They provide an opportunity  to honour the deceased and provide comfort to those who are mourning.

Funeral readings can take many forms, from poems and scriptures to personal anecdotes or reflections.

They allow family and friends to reflect on special moments, shared memories and the impact that person had on their lives.

Who is responsible for Funeral Poems and Readings?

Family and close friends of the deceased are typically chosen to perform a reading.

They are typically most familiar with the person’s interests, beliefs and values so they can pick out a fitting passage that will resonate with those in attendance.

In some cases, it may be best to have multiple individuals offer their own special perspective on the departed person through different readings.

Different Types of Funeral Readings and Ideas

Funeral readings may come from the Bible, other religious texts, literature, poetry, or even a personal message from the deceased.

The content of the funeral reading can vary greatly depending on personal preference, religious tradition, and spiritual beliefs.

For example, some families may choose to read a traditional passage from scripture that speaks to their faith, beliefs, or family history.

Others might opt for something more contemporary such as playing an audio recording of a favourite song or poem by someone they love.

No matter what type of reading is chosen, it should provide comfort and peace during this difficult time.
