Funeral Bible Readings

It can be an important part of a Christian funeral service to include some Bible readings to give a traditional send-off to your loved one. Bible readings help us to celebrate the life of our loved one and help to bring comfort when mourning their death.

Bible readings can also allow us to remember our faith, which can evoke reflection and help soothe us by knowing that we’re not alone. A Bible reading can carry a message of hope at such a difficult time; it allows us to begin to heal and come to terms with the loss.  

There are many Bible readings that you can choose from, which may be a little daunting if you’re planning a funeral service. Here, we’ve come up with a selection of religious readings that we hope can inspire you and help you to arrange a beautiful send-off for your loved one.
