For words of comfort, wisdom, and assurance, consider adding scripture texts to the funeral service. If you are planning a religious funeral service, remember that scriptures may alleviate any despondency in the service, while providing comfort for the family and friends of the deceased.

Funeral service scriptures are always appropriate to use despite the location of the funeral service. For hope during the tragic time of loss, the Bible offers an abundance of encouragement and comfort.

Certain denominations may have specific scriptures they use for a funeral service. For instance, the Catholic denomination will read texts in a specific format from both the Old and New Testaments. Oftentimes friends and family have specific scriptures they would like to be read; if this is the case, it is a good idea to incorporate the reading of them at some point in the funeral service.

For the passages from family or friends, consider having a pastor or officiant review them to be sure they are appropriate. Note that the ideal time to read scripture is at a memorial service. Because a funeral presents a understandably gloomy atmosphere, people are ready to hear words of hope and comfort.

To incorporate scripture in the service, you may hear them in a reading, reference them in the funeral message, or place them in the funeral program. Be aware of the many translations of the Bible you may choose from. It is best to choose a translation that best suits your needs and will be the easiest to understand.
