funeral prayers to read

Welcome to Funeral prayers.

Here's a lovely prayer that has simple but moving words:-

Our Father in heaven, we thank you that, through Jesus Christ, you
have given us the gift of eternal life. Keep us firm in the faith, that
nothing can separate us from your love. When we loose someone who
is dear to us, help us to receive your comfort and to share it with one
another. We thank you for what you have given us through XXXX. We
now entrust ourselves to you, just as we are, with our sense of loss
and of guilt, When the time has come, let us depart in peace, and see
you face to face, for you are the God of our salvation

or another moving prayer:-

God, we thank you for the life that you give us. It is full of work and of
responsibility, of sorrow and joy Today we thank you for XXXX, for what
he has given and received. Help us in our mourning and teach us to
live for the living in the time that is still left to us. Thank you for eternal
life that can give light and joy to our days and years already here on
earth. God, we thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to see
that it is he who opens the gate to the life that shall never die.

This Irish funeral blessing is a favorite to read:-

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm on your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
