Bereavement is a complex emotion and process associated with a variety of rich traditions and customs meant to honor the deceased and comfort loved ones. These traditions vary greatly between religions, cultures, and belief systems.

Few of us know what to do when it comes time to prepare for a funeral. After being stricken by grief, knowing the right things to say or do can be very challenging when loved ones are struggling with their own emotions, comforting others, and trying to settle practical issues.

But the right prayers, scripture passages, or poems can help mourners process their grief and find solace in the most difficult of times.
