Be informed. Be inspired. Celebrate your loved one.
Today we’ll be taking a moment to look at the forty best funeral poems for your brother.
The loss of a brother can cause such pain, and it can leave us searching for something to ease that pain. We may also need reminders that though current days seem dark and we face many sleepless nights, there is still hope, love, and joy to be found — even in the midst of our grieving.
If you’ve attended even a small handful of memorial services, you’ve probably noticed that funeral programs often include a beautiful, short funeral poem to commemorate the decedent’s life.
Many times they are written from first person perspective, as though the one who has passed is speaking directly to the reader, comforting them and reminding them to stay strong in their absence.
Grief and recovery look different for everyone. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or just struggling to move forward, each scenario is as unique as the individual no longer present in your life.
Some people seek solace and quiet to sort through their emotions, and others find comfort in the presence of close friends and family. Some read, some journal, some exercise…
It all depends on how you process your feelings.

Finding ways to comfort someone who is experiencing a loss can be difficult. Knowing what to do or say even more so. A well written sympathy card or letter is always a good and appropriate idea, but you may want to offer them something… more. That’s when bereavement gifts become a fitting choice.

Today we’re going to show you the 35 most beautiful, purple cremation urns.
The color purple has always carried special significance throughout history. Purple has long been seen as a sign of wealth, royalty, mystery, and majesty; but darker shades of purple are also associated with loss, mourning and sadness.

Today we are going to look at the 21 best jazz funeral songs.
Few genres of music can carry the emotional and sentimental impact that jazz does. Often considered “America’s Classical Music,” its beloved bent or “blue” notes express melancholy in an unparalleled manner, while its forward momentums can brighten and uplift the mood unlike any other.
Songs about death abound. From Homer to Poe, the canticles of Mesopotamia to Beethoven, ancient mosaics to modern art — death and loss have long been a source of inspiration for the arts.
Plays, poetry, paintings and music have centered around this inevitable part of life since the earliest civilizations. Death rocks us at the very core of our emotions and stirs the deepest corners of our spirit, moving many to express their pain in ways that can be shared.
Memorials are a wonderful way to keep those we’ve lost close to our hearts, and stir up warm recollections each time we see them. There are so many options available for remembrance items: jewelry, wall collages, albums, paintings, plaques, vases and candles — the list is almost endless.
