Poems are a powerful and evocative means of communication and as such they stir the emotions and can provoke many memories, consequently poems are very often used as part of a funeral service or eulogy and this page is designed as a resource for anyone tasked with the privilege of performing such a speech.
Alternatively you can simply browse through them and read them, just as the poets intended.
Also, if you have been to a ceremony and heard something that you found to be particularly moving, please feel free to post in the comments box at the bottom of the page, and we shall put it on the site.

A Song Of Living
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
When I Must Leave You
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
If I Should Go Tomorrow
