We are truly grateful for the privilege of having shared life with you.

But rest now at the end of your days. Rest in the hearts and minds of all those who love you.

And so with love we shall leave you in peace.

And with respect we bid you a fond farewell.

And so we will let you pass from this world for which you did so much,

For which you continue to do.

Because when we walk this earth, we walk it with you.

And your memory will guide us just as you did when you were at our side.

[name], as we bid you farewell, we are thankful to have shared joy in the sun, shelter in the storms, and to have laughed in the same moment.

We will treasure the memory of your words and works, your character and quality, and will be forever enriched for having known your face.

And so your kind and generous nature we commit to our memories.

Your love, humour and friendship we commit to our hearts.

Your body we commit to its end with nature.

Thank you for all that you were and all that you gave.

Love and light to you on this your final journey.

[name], what a wonderful life you lived and what an impact you have made on others.

There’s no doubt today that at the end of your time here you’ve left behind so many hearts that are aching, you’ve left so many tears of and pains of grief, but my goodness, you’ve left behind so many warm memories and a beautiful legacy of love for your family and friends.

And so, it’s with love and gratitude that we now commit all these fond memories to be locked away in our hearts as we gently yield your body to its end with nature.

We celebrate you, we honour you, but most of all we pay tribute to that consistent love and sense of fun that you always shared so willingly with your family and the comradeship with your friends.  And we’re never going to forget you.

In that certain knowledge may you rest in peace.
