"Heavenly Father, as we come
to perform the final act of parting from our brother, grant that
we may have an inspired vision to enable us to look with faith
beyond the veil, and that our hearts may know the continuing
presence of a soul now set free from the limitations of
mortality. We pray Thee to give us the strength to bear our
daily burdens until we, too, shall enter into the Celestial
Lodge above, to dwell with those who have served with us here,
until time shall be no more. Amen!"

"Soft and safe to thee, my
brother, be thy resting place! Bright and glorious be thy rising
from it! Fragrant be the acacia sprig that there shall flourish!
May the earliest buds of spring unfold their beauties o’er thy
resting place, and there may the sweetness of the summer’s
last rose linger longest! Though the winds of Autumn may destroy
the loveliness of their existence, yet the destruction is not
final, and in the springtime, they shall surely bloom again. So,
in the bright morning of the resurrection, thy spirit shall
spring into newness of life and expand in immortal beauty, in
realms beyond the skies. Until then, dear brother, until then,
farewell!"
