Sending flowers in memory of the deceased to the funeral home is a thoughtful way to demonstrate your bereavement and support of the family. When sending a sympathy card or note of condolence it is often difficult to know what to say or how to phrase your thoughts and feelings.   To help inspire you finding the right thing to say we have put together a collection of some of the better verses from around the internet. Use it with funeral cards, condolence messages, bereavement verses, bereavement messages and condolences words.   We create custom funeral tributes, casket sprays, wreathes and sympathy arrangements. Please See our wide range of: Sympathy and Funeral Flowers >>

Be sure to include the first and last name of each person associated with the gift that is sent, this will help avoid confusion for the family when they recognize those that sent an arrangement.

8. Before the sublime mystery of life and spirit, the mystery of infinite space and endless time, we stand in reverent awe.
   This much we know: we are at least one phase of the immortality of life.
   The mighty stream of life flows on, and, in this mighty stream, we too flow on...not lost...but each eternally significant.
   For this I feel: The spirit never betrays the person who trusts it. Physical life may be defeated but life goes on; character survives, goodness lives and love is immortal.
   - Col Robert G. Ingersoll

10. You are in our thoughts and our prayers.
    But Not Forgotten
    I think no matter where you stray,
    That I shall go with you a way.
    Though you may wander sweeter lands,
    You will not forget my hands,
    Nor yet the way I held my head
    Nor the tremulous things I said.
    You will still see me, small and white
    And smiling, in the secret night,
    And feel my arms about you when
    The day comes fluttering back again.
    I think, no matter where you be,
    You'll hold me in your memory
    And keep my image there without me,
    By telling later loves about me.
    Dylan Thomas.

16. He/She is greatly missed, forever cherished and always remembered.
17. All fondness unexpressed, All farewells unspoken, All smiles unseen, A waterfall of tears is not enough.
18. We'll love him while we may,
    And for the happiness we've known,
    Forever grateful stay.
    But should the angels call for him
    Much sooner than we planned,
    We'll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep
    I am not there, I do not sleep
    I am a 1,000 winds that blow
    I am the diamond glints on snow
    I am the sun on ripened grain
    I am the gentle autumn rain
    When you awaken in the morning's hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circled light
    I am the soft star that shines at night
    Do not stand at my grave and cry
    I am not there; I did not die.
    Anon.
