Facts To Learn 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.
Although people usually have the best intentions, no one wants to hear "he's in a better place" while still in mourning. Add to that, not everyone agrees that the deceased is "in a better place". Some people believe the person is simply dead and gone and they continue missing them. Even those with a belief in an afterlife will not necessarily be comforted by these words. After all, they are still missing their loved one.
Cards for religious people usually rely on scriptures that support the belief of "life after death" in some form or another. For these individuals a great deal is available that can be quoted in order to lend comfort. The end of sinfulness, and end to death, and restoration of lost loved ones offer great hope and comfort to religious individuals. For people of faith, death does not mean they will never see this person again.
For people who are not religious, there are many famous quotes available that are not affiliated with any faith. Epicurus, Socrates, and Francis Bacon are just a few who offer thought and words of comfort for those dealing with death. Even Theodor Geisel(Dr. Seuss) has thoughts on the matter.
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.
