Catholic Funeral Poems

Catholic poems come in so many different topics. Poetry provides a method for inner soul comfort and ease as well as evoke sentimental emotions for a loved one. Funeral poems work extremely well within a reading and is considered to be a form of funeral tribute for the dearly departed. You can ask your parish pastor when in the mass it would be appropriate to have poem read aloud. If it is not possible to do so, Catholic funeral poems can be placed and included inside the funeral service program.

Typically, these types of poems speak of heaven and the after life but they can also have other sentimental words relating to missing the loved one and who they were as a person in life.
