What You Should Notice When Choosing Verses For Funeral Cards
Loss of loved ones is a difficult time in any person's life. No matter if the death is expected or not, the pain is enormous for most individuals. Most people want to offer their condolences as well as a shoulder to cry on, but are unsure of the right words to say. It does not matter if the deceased was elderly or very ill, or young and suffered an accident, the bottom line is the same, people are in pain and we want to comfort them. The wealth of available verses for funeral cards can make this easier.
Most people today do not want to hear sentiments such as "he's better off now" or "she's in a better place". Knowing people care goes a long way, but trite, scripted commentary does not generally convey our true sorrow for the pain of mourning friends and family members.
For those with religious faith there are many bible verses that are perfect for funeral cards. All of these scriptures point to the hope of a new life after this one. Some of these scriptures include the promise of all tears being dried, and death and dying being done away with forever. Others promise the restoration of our loved ones. These are certainly words of comfort for such difficult times.
Many famous quotes that are not religiously affiliated can also bring comfort. Hans Christian Anderson, Robert Louis Stevenson, and even Theodor Geisel (Dr, Seuss) have quotes that are appropriate for people in mourning.
People can find many verses aimed at ethnicity, career, age, and much more. There are numerous quotes for the loss of a child. Many prayers and quotes for nurses, policemen, servicemen and woman, Masons, and just about anything a person may need to suit the occasion can be found.
Always remember, the purpose of cards for funerals is to bring comfort to those in mourning. The most important thing to convey is that we care, we understand, and we are available if and when we are needed.
