Welcome to a collection of poems and verses handpicked for their originality and, in some cases, expressly translated from the original (by humans!).
This is a free-to-use service aimed at helping people at a time when they're looking for inspiration. We have also put together a page listing charities that people often consider at a time of bereavement or remembrance, with direct links should you wish to make a donation.

Il restera de toi by Michel Scouarnec, translated by Alastair Cassie
A new English translation, made to carry the integrity and emotional force of the French original.
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
A short, dignified reading, often chosen for funerals and memorial services.
