I had the humbling honour and privilege of being able to write and share the following memorial liturgy (below). It was for a treasured friend and former colleague. It was a way of expressing what needed to be expressed, separately from the funeral. It was a special time, just for our team – a moment along the way of grief, a signpost – not the destination.
We shared the liturgy together, built a cairn, dismantled it, and took our stones away with us to form the ‘foundations’ of a new cairn, perhaps, elsewhere along our way.
The liturgy can be downloaded here as a pdf document. Simply click the image below.

Very sorry to hear about your friend – God bless her. Your liturgy contains much, that I am sure, will have brought comfort and peace to others.
I echo Sharon’s sentiments. I especially liked the Afterglow and hope that some day the Memory may be reflective of me.
I am sure that she is safe in the arms of the Lord.
May God continue to pour his Blessings on you.
