"Don’t weep at my grave for I am not there,
I’ve a date with a butterfly to dance in the air.
I’ll be singing in the sunshine, wild and free.
Playing tag with the wind while I am waiting for thee."
- Mary Elizabeth Frye
Poetry
Poetry and prose offer a meaningful way to reflect during grief. Whether mournful or uplifting, the written word can stir emotions and honor your loved one.
​
Verses provide a vehicle to give voice to feelings too deep for everyday language. Like music, the rhythm and imagery unlock an expressive outlet for innermost heartache or celebration.
​
I've gathered some poignant selections, but these are just a starting point. Feel free to browse the list or choose a piece of your own. This is about finding something that speaks to you.
​
The most fitting tribute is the one with personal significance. Take time to consider what resonates - a favorite poem your loved one loved, stanzas that capture their spirit, words that give voice to your grief.
​
Let the literature you choose open a quiet space for reflection and remembrance. There's no right answer, only the passage that connects your stream of feelings to their enduring memory. Make your selection a meaningful ritual of mourning and hope.
Music
"Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can't."
- Johnny Depp
Music can be quite individual and there are really no right or wrong choices - follow what speaks to your heart and feels like an authentic tribute.
​
Additionally, music can give a voice to grief - let the music you choose carry the full weight of your heart as you honor their legacy.
​
Please feel free to choose from this list or choose from your favorite artists.

Eulogy Questionnaire
A eulogy is a way to say goodbye and to remember a loved one. There are no rules as to what you should say, but as with so many, finding the words can often elude us.
​
Your memories are invaluable in shaping the eulogy of your loved one. By completing this questionnaire, you provide essential guidance to your celebrant, helping them to center your thoughts and memories. Together, you can create a ceremony that truly honors the life and legacy of your cherished one.
