Funeral Poem for Family

I lost my beloved Nana on 6th October 2009. She was an inspiration to me and will be sadly missed. I am so grateful to have had her for as long as I did and know she will be with me in spirit. I wanted to say something personal at her funeral and wrote this poem for her x

Poem For Nana

© Sarah
To my dearest darling Nana,
Up in Heaven, high above,
I know today your with us all,
And sending all your love.

Today we all remember you,
And bid you one last goodbye,
Celebrate the life you've had
And maybe have a cry.

You'll never be forgotten Nan,
I'll just close my eyes and see,
Your smiling face and feel your love
And you'll be close to me.

You had such a long life,
So many have so less,
It was your time, the Angels came,
And placed you with the best.

So dear Nana, up above
Although your no longer here,
In my heart is where I'll keep you,
Forever, you'll be near.

Your poem has said a lot of the things said at her funeral and it helps relive some of the pain. God bless you and your family. I know the both of them are watching over us right now, They will never be forgotten.

  • My nana died on the 7th March this year, I was so heartbroken, didn't know what to do with myself, I was all over the place.. My grandad found her in bed next to him, me and my family went round as soon as he rang. At her funeral this is the poem that was read out, this is the most beautiful poem I have ever heard and I am grateful to have found it, as soon as I started reading it I began to cry, My nana was the world to me, I loved every minute I spent with her, **Even when she was nagging** Hehe. I love her dearly and she is missed everyday. Rest in peace Nana, God bless, Sleep tight xxx

  • This poem was so sad, I was crying, I love my nana, and didn't how much I took her gestures of kindness for granted up until now. This poem made me realize what's important in life. I will print this poem and read it aloud at my Nana's funeral when the time comes to pass. Do not worry, I will not take credit for this poem. You are a brilliant poem writer, you should be famous.

  • Hi, my nana passed away last night at the grand age of 95, she was like a second mum to me, someone I could turn to in times of trouble, who never judged me, she was an amazingly kind person, a huge inspiration to me and a wonderful role model, I've no idea how any of us will do without her and her guidance! Your poem really touched my heart and its as if you wrote it for her, please if you don't mind I would like to share it with my family at her funeral x
