The Shrouded Mirror
The Shrouded Mirror is a ceremonial tribute that gives families a physical expression of grief at the beginning of the funeral service.
As the mirror is gently shrouded, a heartfelt prayer is offered, inviting everyone present to pause, acknowledge the profound reality of loss, and honor the life of the one they love.
The Shrouded Mirror Prayer
This family is now in mourning.
As this mirror is shrouded, so too are our hearts. Though a veil now lies between us,
it is woven only for this earthly life.
Beyond it waits neither sorrow nor parting,
but the joyful embrace of Heaven.
Until that blessed day when we are reunited,
may love prove stronger than loss,
and memory endure beyond death.
Amen.
The Final Hour
The Final Hour closes the funeral. It acknowledges that the farewell has been spoken and entrusts the loved one to eternity.
The Final Hour Prayer
His time upon this earth is now complete.
As this clock is stilled, so too do we pause in gratitude for every hour shared, every kindness given, and every memory that shall forever remain.
May this family know peace.
May every cherished memory remain a blessing.
Though the hours of this life have reached their close, the promise of eternity has only just begun.
Time moves forward. Love remains.
Go now in peace, until that joyful day when we are reunited in the presence of God.
Amen.
