My Funeral - My Final Words

Our funerals should be seen as important as many other events in our lives and the lives of our family and friends. The circumstances of our departing are varied; they can be tragic, heart-breaking, desperately emotional or, on some occasions, a comfort in disguise. But they are, for all of us, the last event we will attend, so to speak. We or others can choose to make them a formality or make them something special, something more personal to our own wishes or those we leave behind. The verses on this site and those which are added in due course offer us an opportunity to personalise our funerals in a way not done before; they enable us to express our opinions, our thoughts, our feelings and hopefully in a way which will bring a smile on the faces of those there at what should hopefully be for many of us, a celebration, commemorating, honouring our lives and the contribution we made to the lives of others.

Some of the verses will hopefully be appropriate for most of us; some will not given the personal nature of them.
