Product Description
Review
The most comprehensive of these anthologies perceptively looks two ways at once. As well as offering a wide-ranging selection of readings, Sally Emerson's In Loving Memory offers a whole section of hymns, prayers and readings - presumably in recognition of the fact that even in this secular age people's hearts move to ancient blood-rhythms, suspecting that "on the stroke of midnight God shall win". (Bel Mooney, The Times )
Book Description
A collection of poetry and readings suitable for funerals, to comfort, console, but also to celebrate.

Sally Emerson has done a great service here for thousands of people. Seeking the right words for a card, letter or speech after the death of a friend or loved one can prove an insurmountable task. Speaking from experience, and having sat for an eternity with a blank sheet of paper, or some meaningless scribbles, this book is exactly what is required. Emerson has collected 200 poems and writings to cover all occasions. The book is divided into sections (Rage, Grief, Parting, Missing, Remembering, Thanksgiving, Facing Eternity, Seeing the Pattern, Inspiration, Love’s Power, Finding Peace, Hymns Prayers & Readings) and is indexed by author and first lines. It contains a diversity of sources from Shakespeare to Churchill, The Bible to The Bhagavad Gita and Joan Baez to Rupert Brooke. You don’t have to copy anything from the book in your time of need, but it will inspire you and may help the right words to drop into place. I bought this book, not just to have around when a death occurred, but for the inspirational passages and the sheer joy of reading the thoughts of others. To me this is a coffee table book full of love and encouragement and I recommend it to everyone.

This book is extremely useful when organising a funeral. It is difficult at times to put into words how you feel about someone when they have just passed away. I found this very thought provoking and an emotional crutch at a difficult time.

Well selected and wide-ranging anthology. This book could well offer help in times of bereavement or grief, or indeed, just getting by.

..Expecting a sombre service, I and others found it joyful. One of the pieces of poetry that was read came from this lovely book.
Something to suit everyone, and a good buy.
