Planning what to say at a funeral can be a hard task and here is another of my favourite funeral poems. It is called Not In Vain and will make the funeral that little bit more special.

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

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) Amherst, Massachusetts

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