Eulogy – Funeral Service – Think of the bliss of long gone spring, think of the wreaths and think of the dances!
Eulogy: Funeral orator Abbot Reding from the Honora Zen Monastery will guide you through the non-denominational burial and funeral service according to your wishes. The last respects are paid with dignity and empathy and farewells are said. You are welcome to discuss the course of the memorial service and your wishes in a personal conversation.
Prayer and Meditation
I feel cold. The wick burns up. I got old and I got tired. The dawn breaks through the window into my room and doesn't see me. She dances past, a vain woman, and reflects her likeness in the mirror. When the little birds sing in the green forest, when the brooks tinkle downhill, the old man is lured with lustful power. If his heart beats so merrily.
Think of the bliss of long gone spring, think of the wreaths and think of the dances, even tears will fall. Sing and ring! today is mine, today I want to sing and sound merry with playing children in the field. Happy with happy things, I want to crown my tresses that are growing old. Soon I must go there and wander and travel where the birds do not sing to me.
Eulogy - Funeral Service
Now that the leaves are falling, oh my, how pale, I feel how old I've become. This is tormenting me. The sun is shining. Oh, sun, how cold you are. Autumn was once a song to me too. now i am old "We are gray - and you are still young" - you speak with dignity and ask my admiration for your old age burden.
But if I fear every gray hair, then in the end the donkey may demand respect from me. Don't laugh when love and kindness fade with the years. What happened to Paulinchen can also happen to you. Look how different our good kitchen broom has changed. He who used to be so soft is now dull and scratchy. All the best on your final journey and rest in peace!
