Uplifting Funeral Poems - Finding the
Right Words
By Thomas Alan Lampsen
Uplifting funeral poems can be a perfect element of a
meaningful memorial. Choosing the right words during
this special time can create an exceptional service or
tribute. Consider these three reasons for the use of
uplifting poems at a funeral.
First, poetry is uniquely powerful in the way it
communicates feelings. They say that poetry is the one
form of communication that comes directly from the soul
and that speaks directly to the soul. It is a pure and
powerful way to express deeply held sentiments. This
makes the art form perfectly suited for any memorial
service, where we are always looking for a way to
communicate a complicated mix of emotions.
Second, uplifting funeral poems are a wonderful way to
honor the deceased while simultaneously celebrating the
nature of life and faith. Memorials are part of the
mourning process, but they also give us an opportunity
to reflect upon the positive elements of life and the
wonderful memories we have of the departed. An uplifting
verse can serve both functions admirably.
Finally, using uplifting poems for a funeral helps you
to craft a message that those assembled will remember.
Poetry really does communicate in a very special way and
the evocative, emotional nature of verse will resonate
with the audience in a way other speeches and comments
may not. It's no wonder that we have been using poetry
in funerals for centuries. Poetry really does speak to
us in a very special way.
If you are in the process of organizing or participating
in a memorial service, uplifting funeral poems are
certainly worthy of consideration. You need only to find
the right poem for the service and you will be very
well-positioned to contribute to a particularly
meaningful memorial service.
