How to express condolences about a death in your own words: examples. Why was fate cruel? And we remember your souls and hearts alive

Epitaph - literally "inscription on the grave", from the Greek "epi" - "above", and "taphos" - grave. At first this was the name of the funeral speech, and then the inscription on the gravestone. The word came from Ancient Greece, but inscriptions were left on graves in all countries.

First Granite Corporation LLC offers a variety of tombstones made of granite (natural granite), made by high-class craftsmen. In addition to the standard engravings of the portrait of the deceased, we propose placing epitaphs on monuments in verse.

The epitaph itself for a son or husband has been a tombstone inscription since the days of Ancient Greece. A succinct quatrain or several lines of prose reflect the main character traits of a living person and what he achieved during his life. This is a kind of summation of life. An example of such an epitaph is the phrase: “Your rapid takeoff is over in an instant. All that was left was a scream in my heart.” At the same time, these inscriptions are able to cheer up loved ones, capturing light sadness for a deceased father or mother.

The first author's epitaphs began to appear in the 16th century, and the art of epitaphs in Russia reached its true flowering already in the 18th century, and this, of course, concerned mainly the graves of the aristocracy. There was great literature in Russia, in the 18th and 19th centuries many wrote, and many did it very well, and, of course, this left its mark on everything, including on gravestones. Until now, people go to ancient cemeteries, admire the skillful monuments, elegant engravings, read the inscriptions on the grave in verse - this is a kind of book of memory of long-gone lives...

When ordering a memorial, not only dates of life and farewell words are engraved on the stone, but also portraits of the deceased, often very artistic, using both mechanical and laser engraving. Such portraits can themselves be called objects of art.

Before ordering a monument, you can familiarize yourself with the models of monuments we produce on our website. And in the “Ritual Pictures” section, get acquainted with the options for images and epitaphs themselves, which can be applied to the selected monument.

Our specialists are ready to undertake not only the production and design of the monument, but also its delivery to any region of the Russian Federation. The low cost of the monument is due to the fact that the company itself is engaged in the extraction of granite, its processing and further use as a material for the manufacture of the monument, which significantly reduces the total cost of the products we offer.

As well as texts that our master can engrave on the monument:

1) We remember, we love, we mourn.

When difficult news of loss comes to a family or circle of loved ones, relatives, friends, colleagues, one should remember the need for support and delicacy. It is very bitter to lose your loved ones, but it is necessary to find the strength within yourself to find the words to express your sympathy and condolences in connection with the death of a loved one.

How to properly offer condolences, talk about how the deceased was loved, what human qualities were especially valued and respected for?

Funeral speech

Farewell words at a funeral should be concise and logically structured. No matter how difficult they are to pronounce, they should not be unprepared, slurred, or excessively confusing. This may be perceived as disrespect for the deceased. That's why It’s worth thinking about the words that will be heard during funerals and farewells in advance., highlight the main points in it, draw up a diagram of the funeral speech. Its main parts and examples are given below:

Main parts of a funeral speech

  1. Address to the guests gathered at the funeral
    “Dear family and friends of (name of the deceased)…”, “Dear guests!”, “Loved ones and relatives...”.
  2. Introducing yourself, indicating the degree of relationship with the deceased.
    “My name is (proper name), (name of the deceased) and I were colleagues (friends, etc.) for ... years”, “We were neighbors with ...”, “Dad was ...”.
  3. A memory of a tragic event and a short story about one’s own experiences, one’s pain.
    “We met him just yesterday...”, “40 days have already passed since...”, “He has not been with us for a year...”.
  4. Characteristics of the deceased.
    “He always smiled...”, “He fought for life until the end...”, “He taught me...”.
  5. Condolences or customary funeral words.
    “My sincere condolences...”, “May the earth rest in peace,” “Eternal memory,” “Rest in peace.”

When remembering a deceased person, you should not retell his biography at the funeral. You can say a few words about any significant episode of life, an interesting fact that reflects the dignity of the deceased. It is worth focusing the attention of people gathered at the funeral on the quality that is highly valued. It is better to remain silent about negative traits, sins, weaknesses, and ambiguous attitudes towards the deceased, following the Russian proverb “It’s either good or nothing about the deceased.”

Words of grief must come from the heart. Here is an example of a funeral speech delivered by Alexander Abdulov’s adopted daughter Ksenia Alferova:

“How grateful I am to God and fate that you were in my life. You are not my real dad - I, however, have never felt this. When I found out about this, I was terribly upset. I thought that this was some kind of injustice - he should have had a child of his own and by the end of his life he, or rather, she appeared! At first I was happy, and then I was afraid that you would no longer need me. I now realized that this was stupid, I realized that you needed me no less than I needed you... It’s a pity that you understand such things too late.”


Examples of short verbal condolences

When choosing words of grief intended for well-known relatives of the deceased, it is worth thinking over a deeply personal, sympathetic phrase. Words must be sincere and delicate. In moments of bitter loss, at a funeral, the feeling of falsehood turns out to be heightened.

The choice of words and format of verbal condolences depends on the circumstances. If a narrow circle of relatives and friends of the deceased gathers, the speech can be especially heartfelt and personal.

If a large number of people gather to see off a person on his last journey, then brief expressions of condolences are more appropriate, because words of sympathy and grief should be uttered by all those gathered.

Here are examples of such words:

  • We all hurt, but it’s worse for you than anyone. If I can help you, please contact me right away.
  • Be strong. We mourn with you.
  • I sincerely sympathize with your loss.
  • Our family feels very sorry for you. With the passing of (name of the deceased), we lost a piece of ourselves.
  • (Name of the deceased) was such a wonderful person, we always followed his example. He will forever remain in our hearts.
  • What a loss! I pray for (name of deceased).
  • (Name of the deceased) did so much for me, I will never forget him. I sincerely sympathize with you.


Funeral speech

To commemorate the deceased, it is customary to gather a circle of relatives and people close to him on and through. The words spoken at a wake are traditionally imbued with warmth and light sadness. At the wake they talk about the deceased person, remember various stories and incidents from life.

  • Funeral speeches, like mourning speeches at funerals, are drawn up according to the classical plan. At the same time, we must not forget about the need to declare a minute of silence in memory of the deceased. The role of the manager, who announces it and also gives the floor to those gathered in turn, is usually taken on by a person close to the family of the deceased.
  • According to tradition, the words of the funeral speech are first spoken by the people closest to the deceased person - parents, spouses, children, brothers and sisters, and then friends and colleagues. The host should always have a few appropriate phrases prepared in case the performance of one of the guests is interrupted by crying.
  • Funeral words are always pronounced standing. Their main task is to revive bright memories of the deceased in the memory of those gathered.

Here is an example of the words of a memorial speech on behalf of children remembering their father:

“Father has always been a wonderful example not only for all of us, but also for many people around him. From him we learned to see and distinguish true life values, to give kindness to others. Many people who knew him admired his bright soul. We believe that our father left us too early. Eternal memory to him!”

Poems and toasts

At a funeral, poetry is categorically inappropriate, while at a wake - on the 9th or 40th day, a year after death, poetry can sound more sincere and heartfelt than ever. Poems in these cases are acceptable, but carefully and in moderation, and it is better if they are of your own composition.

Mourning is said at the table. They should not relate exclusively to the personality of the deceased. Guests making toasts can express words of sympathy and grief for all the dead.

Here are examples of poems and toasts:

You died too early

Words cannot express our pain.

Sleep, dear, you are our pain and wound,

The memory of you is always alive.

My soul is worried without you,

You don't need girlfriends or friends.

Why is it possible without millions?

Why is it impossible without one?

“Friends, today is a day of sorrow. There was a time when we had fun and rejoiced with someone who left us. But today you and I drink this cup of sorrow, seeing off a person close to us on his last journey. But we will keep in our hearts the good memory of our friend, having hope of meeting again in a new place. Let's drink to the dregs for this!
