Whats a good bible quote for a funeral?

Question

A girl I loved, very close to me, just recently passed. She was 18, I told her mother I would put a dvd / cd together for the family and close friends. I wanted to open the dvd / cd with a quote from the bible. Does anyone know any that may be good to use? Thank you.

Answer 1

If you call a funeral home they can give you many ideas. Off the top of my head all I can thing of are the standard ones that they use such as the 23rd Psalm. There is the one that starts "I live my eyes to the hills", and the one about in my father's house there are many mansions". Here is a link:

This is not from the bible, but I like it:

I did not die

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
