All Things Bright And Beautiful

Anglican hymn often sung and celebrated by many different churches within Christianity, it has remained a popular song for funerals throughout the years.

Refrain;All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colors,
he made their tiny wings. (Refrain) The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset, and the morning
that brightens up the sky. (Refrain) The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden,
he made them every one. (Refrain) He gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well. (Refrain)

Ways to keep them close

Words like these often stay with us long after the funeral. Some families also find comfort in a keepsake at home: an urn, a cuddle stone to hold, or jewellery with a little of their ashes inside.
