Question:

Does anybody know a beautiful poem for a funeral?

My grandmother in law just passed away and it is up to me to find a poem for her service. I cant find anything really good though. I want something by a well known poet, that is comforting and kinda like shes home, and still with us... I dont know how to explain it. Any ideas on poems or poets? thanks!

I found this in my quote book...

"We didn't know that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again."---Author Unknown

Hope you like this poem. I am sorry about your loss.
