Funeral Service in Sargans – The stars in their entirety over the land, and only one wanderer stepped up, who draws from the well!
Funeral speaker Master Reding from Kloster Nigredo accompanies you in Sargans and the surrounding region with presence, dignity, and deep compassion.
Between the mighty peaks of the Sarganserland, the open valleys, and the quiet streams, a unique space emerges for the farewell ceremony — a place where heaven and earth meet, and where the last transition can be honored with sincerity and peace.
Whether on a mountainside, by a river, in a forest clearing, in a cemetery, or at any personal location: The ceremony can be shaped freely, individually, and without religious boundaries.
Together, we create a heartfelt and respectful farewell that allows grief, gratitude, and remembrance to unfold naturally.
Prayer and Meditation – Funeral in Sargans
You, who are from the heavens,
still all sorrow and pain;
to the one who suffers doubly,
you grant double refreshment.
Ah, I am weary of all striving!
What are all this joy and all this pain?
Sweet peace, come, oh come into my heart.Over all the hilltops is rest,
in all the treetops you feel scarcely a breath;
even the birds are silent in the forest.
Just wait, soon you will rest as well.
These words, like a quiet breath, carry us gently through the hour of farewell.
They remind us that every life is a journey — a wandering between joy and sorrow, light and shadow, growth and decline.
Death is not the negation of this journey, but its completion.
The Night Wanderer – A deeper look at the poem
The poem “Extinguish your light and sleep” paints a vivid picture of life withdrawing at the moment of death — softly, quietly, like the fading evening light.
The ancient fountain represents the eternal flow of life, which never fully ceases.
The silence of night reflects that mysterious threshold where the soul begins its wandering.
“The stars stand in full number over the land,
and only a wanderer stepped to the marble basin.”
This wanderer symbolizes the soul:
a silent traveler passing between worlds,
setting out into the great starlit expanse
where the human dissolves and the spiritual begins.
“Many wanderers walk far into the starlit shimmer,
and many more are on their way to you.”
These lines bring comfort, reminding us:
No one travels alone.
Those who went before us continue their journey —
and one day, the paths will meet again.
All blessings on the final journey — may you rest in peace.
The farewell in Sargans becomes a moment to pause: to honor, to remember, to give thanks. And to release — with love.
