Memorial bookmarks are small, laminated bookmarks or cards that are often distributed at funerals or memorial services to serve as a keepsake in remembrance of a loved one who has passed away.
These bookmarks can be placed in books, kept as a memorial in a special place, or used as a bookmark in daily reading materials. They offer a tangible connection to the departed and can provide comfort and solace to those who are grieving.
Here are a few poems that you can consider for funeral memorial bookmarks:
Poem 1:
In loving memory,
We gather here,
To bid farewell and shed a tear.
[Name]’s light, though now dimmed,
Will forever shine within our hearts, undimmed.
Poem 2:
As we mourn the loss of a cherished soul,
Let’s remember the love that made us whole.
[Name]’s presence may be gone from sight,
But their spirit will forever guide us through the night.
Poem 3:
A life well-lived,
Now laid to rest,
Memories of [Name],
Forever blessed.
Through tears, we grieve,
Yet find solace in knowing,
Their spirit continues, ever-flowing.
Poem 4:
In this moment of sorrow,
We stand as one,
Remembering [Name]’s journey, now done.
Though the void may feel immense and deep,
Their legacy and love, forever, we’ll keep.
Poem 5:
We gather here, hearts intertwined,
To honour a life that will forever shine.
[Name]’s earthly presence may have ceased,
But their soul’s journey has found eternal peace.
Poem 6:
In the tapestry of life,
[Name] played a part,
Leaving footprints on countless hearts.
Though they may be gone,
Their love we’ll hold,
As we reminisce on stories untold.
Poem 7:
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” by Mary Elizabeth Frye:
“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
Poem 8:
Remember by Christina Rossetti:
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
