Taken directly from a funeral service booklet:
The minister introduces the service in these or other suitable words
We have come here today
To remember before God our brother/sister N;
To give thanks for his/her life;
To commend him/her to God our merciful redeemer and judge;
To commit his/her body to be buried/cremated,
And to comfort one another in our grief.
A brief tribute may be made.
A hymn may be sung.
Let us commend N to the mercy of God our maker and redeemer.
Remember for good this your servant N
As we also remember him/her
Silence is kept.
