Finding the words to say goodbye to a loved one when they pass away can be difficult. With non religious and Humanist funerals becoming more and more popular, many people turn to the internet and books to find the perfect non religious funeral readings.

If you’re arranging a funeral for someone who didn’t have any religious beliefs, you may want to include a popular funeral poem or reading in the order of service. Non religious funeral readings and poems can help acknowledge the passing of a loved one and bring comfort to those in attendance.

Here are some popular non religious funeral readings and poems for a loved one's funeral⬇

In all the days and days we'll be apart
Here you'll dance and live and laugh
Forever beautiful in a sepia photograph.
