Hymn Sheets

Our Hymn Sheets are printed on quality card/paper in the colour of your choice.

They can contain a printed photograph and a dedication to the deceased along with details about the service on the front cover.

Your choice of hymns, a reading, and any other information pertaining to the occasion will be included inside the Hymn Sheet.

We will then deliver these hymn sheets to wherever the service is to take place.

An example of our Hymn Sheets.
We will endeavour to make them as personal as you wish.

Presence Cards

Should you wish, tastefully printed 'presence' cards on quality card will be offered to each guest so that they may write their names and connection to the deceased. These cards will be collected after the funeral by a member of our staff.

You will then have a memento of those who were present, and who shared in your grief that day.

The wording on the card:- 'The family would appreciate knowing of your presence at this service.'

Suggested Verse

Learning

After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security......

So plant your own garden and decorate
Your own soul - instead of waiting for
Someone to bring you flowers.

And you will learn that you really can endure,
That you really are special.
And that you really do have worth.

So live to learn and know yourself.
In doing so, you will learn to live.

My Love

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the uplifting rush.

Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.

Remember Me When I am Gone Away

Remember me when I am gone away
Gone far away into the silent land:
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go Yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; You understand.
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, Do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than you should remember and be sad.

The Rose Beyond the Wall

A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
And, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall.

One day, a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide -
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond to the other side.

Now you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted - the rose blooms there -
it's beauty even greater now,
nurtured by God's own loving care.

Either Roy, Robin, or Richard are available twenty-four hours a day, and will call at your home should you require their help.

The staff of Roy Folland & Son, Funeral Directors, are dedicated to providing you with a professional and reliable service, coupled with a guiding and compassionate strength, at a time when you and your family need it most.
