Losing a loved one can never be prepared for; whether the death was expected or not, it feels the same. Speaking at a memorial service can be uneasy as there are many things you’d like to say but can’t quite find the right words to match.

A memorial verse can help put your feelings into the right words. You may relate to them; they also help to ease the pressure if you’re unsure what to say. A memorial verse can help people come to terms with their loss and offer some hope at such a difficult time. A beautiful memorial verse can help comfort those attending the memorial service, where they can reflect on their memories with their loved one who has passed.  

We’ve included a selection of powerful and moving memorial verses to choose from if you’re planning a funeral, memorial service or eulogy. We hope that there’s a verse here that speaks to you.
