Funeral Service in Zurich Kloten – Master of Ceremonies – A thought wanders across the face of heaven!
The relatives gather to bear the unspeakable – between tears and silence, between love and letting go. Master Reding, Abbot of Nigredo Monastery, accompanies you on this journey. He leads you through the funeral with words that not only comfort but also connect you – heaven with earth, humanity with the divine. Whether it's an urn burial, scattering of ashes, or burial in the Zurich Kloten cemetery, the ceremony will be individually designed according to your wishes – in personal consultation, with dignity and respect.
Prayer and Meditation
God's mercy may have decreed it, a person lies in their final moments.
When their loved ones stand at the deathbed, they must weep, weep.
Tears are not a sign of weakness, but of life. They are the heart's final prayer – letting go in love. Just as the spirit leaves the body, so life returns to the eternal cycle from which it once came.
But a sight of deeper sorrow, more fearful than the shudder of death,
it was, could an eye grasp it, how two hearts parted.
These words lead us to the silent truth of farewell: The love that once bound two lives must separate in order to continue its effect – invisible, but imperishable. In prayer and meditation, Master Reding finds those words that convey the unspeakable.
Funeral in Zurich – Kloten
Flowers, birds, fragrant, singing, don't be so boisterous.
Let me alone walk the streets!
Just as nature continues to bloom while we mourn, so life remains present. The cycle of the year becomes a symbol of faith: spring, summer, autumn, and winter—each season is part of the whole. There is comfort in this realization, not in forgetting, but in understanding:
That even in transience, a divine measure is at work, sustaining and transforming everything.
The Silence of Heaven
A thought wanders across the face of heaven, the gloomy cloud there, so anxious, so heavy.
Thus, poetry describes the inner state of man in mourning. Clouds drift, tears fall—and yet, behind everything, the sun breaks through again. For in the divine breath lies the certainty that everything that has been remains preserved in love.
Heaven, pondering its grief,
allowed the sun to fall carelessly from its hand.
The light does not go out—it rests until it is rekindled. Such is the soul: It continues its journey, carried by the goodness we call God.
Blessing and Accompaniment
Master Reding, Abbot of Nigredo Monastery, designs each funeral with respect, silence, and inner contemplation. He combines the religious with the human, the word with meditation. Thus, every memorial service becomes a conscious transition—a moment in which peace can be felt.
All the best on your final journey—
and find eternal peace.
