Planning what to say at a funeral can be a hard task and here is another of my favourite funeral poems. It is called He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven and will make the funeral that little bit more special.

Also feel free to browse our website for other fantastic poems for funerals.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

by W. B. Yeats

Thanks for reading one of our funeral poems and hope everything goes well for you on the day.
