The funeral director moves us closer to God
And helps us tread where others try to lead us.

Speaking a kind word to relieve our pain
Gives us the peace of mind we need when emotionally drained.

Understanding our grief and our hurt
Gives us service and does not shirk

Listening and helping us to bear our loss
Is strengthened by a willingness to share.

Showing so much love that shines
Is a heart that wants our wounds to heal.

Taking every care when embalming
With a task that is right.

Helping us to honour our dead
With reminders of the beauty of living.

Being many things when our heart need help to mend
But most of all, the funeral director is our friend.
