Death is an inevitable part of the human experience, and while it may be difficult to accept, funerals and other rituals play a crucial role in the grieving process. One aspect of these ceremonies is the use of urns, which can serve as a physical representation of the departed and a source of comfort for those left behind. Urns can take many forms, from intricately designed and ornate to simple and understated, but all of them hold a special significance for those who use them.
Forever Near
Amidst the tears and mournful cries,
A life has ended, passed on by,
The final rite of passage nears,
A funeral, to bid adieu with tears.
The body gone, the soul released,
An urn remains, a symbol of peace,
A vessel holding memories dear,
And love that will forever be near.
Though death may sting, and sorrow weigh,
The urn, a comfort, in its own way,
A tangible reminder of a life well-lived,
And the legacy, through time, that’s preserved.
This piece of poetry about the grieving process and the role of urns was originally penned by Eternal Urns.
In the end, the use of urns in the grieving process speaks to the human need to memorialize those who have passed on. Whether they are displayed in a prominent location or tucked away in a private space, urns serve as a tangible reminder of the love and connection that we share with those who have left us. While death may be a difficult and painful experience, urns allow us to keep the memory of our loved ones alive, and to continue to feel their presence in our lives long after they have gone.
