"We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades. Where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever."

Inside:
"With deepest sympathy. Life may be considered altogether as a dream and death the awakening from sleep."

Front:
"The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face us with the reality of our powerlessness. That is the friend who cares."

Inside:
"With deepest sympathy. I am here for you, my friend."

Front:
"With thoughts of sympathy and support as you mourn the passing of one so dear to your heart."

Inside:
"With wishes for all the strength you need to move through the days ahead to a place of hope and peace."

Front:
"My deepest sympathy to you. Death is not extinguishing the light, it is putting out the candle because the dawn has come."

Inside:
"May your heart be quieted by the gentle peace of God strengthened by the promise of His care and restful in the comfort of His spirit. You have my deepest sympathy."

Front:
"As you hold me close in memory even though we are apart, my spirit will live on, there within your heart. I am with you always. When you lean on trusted friends and their caring ways enfold you within their loving arms, I’ll be there to hold you. I am with you always. And beyond the far horizon when we’ll finally be together where love will be eternal, and life will last forever, I will be with you forever."

Inside:
"While death is the natural ending of life as we understand it, it is the beginning of a life that is everlasting. May your loved one live on in your heart in a union that far surpasses that which you have previously experienced. Know that you are in our hearts and in our prayers at this difficult time of your life. With deepest sympathy."

Front:
"When those we love go away, they never really leave us. Those whom we have cherished live on forever, for love wraps itself around the heart. Although it is difficult now, someday beyond our tears and all the world’s wrongs; beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch. We shall clearly understand the overwhelming grief we feel today."

Inside:
"I share with you the agony of your grief. The anguish of your heart finds echo in my own. I know I cannot enter all you feel nor bear with you the burden of your pain. I can but offer what love does give: the strength of loving and the warmth of one who seeks to understand the silent storm-swept barrenness of so great a loss. This I do in a quiet, prayerful way, that on your lonely path you may not walk alone. You have my deepest sympathy."

Front:
"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 waken in the morning’s hush. I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die."

Inside:
"When someone loses a loved one who has meant so much to them, it’s hard to know how to begin to express sympathy and words of comfort. We can only say that because you are so important to us, your sorrow touches us deeply. Our deepest sympathy."

Front:

Front:
"My deepest sympathy. Life is eternal and love is immortal; And death is only a horizon. And a horizon is nothing. Save the limit of our sight."

Inside:
"May He who is the God of all comfort bring you great healing and strength."

Front:
"Have faith God is always with you, though it may not seem so, Have hope God’s love surrounds you much more than you know, Have peace God has a special plan just for you, Have joy for always, come what may, God will help to see you through."

Inside:
"May these words help you through this very difficult time. Please accept my deepest sympathy."
