Virtual funerals are a totally foreign concept. Throughout human history we have always come together in times of loss. The social distancing aspects of the current pandemic are making that difficult. Even as funerals are on the rise. Families are struggling to to go through the grief process with the constraints that have been put upon us.

This page is primarily for funeral directors who are trying to come up with an appropriate virtual funeral equivalent for this difficult time for families. If you happen to be a family member trying to plan a virtual funeral, you might find this useful as well.

For Funeral Directors

Most of the images on this site are available for virtual funerals. As a lasting alternative to flowers, we also hope you would consider the larger physical versions of the prints. These are available wholesale to funeral homes.

Since we have hundreds of designs, we don’t have all of them available for this purpose. We are making our Heroes collection available for funeral homes and families. These are specifically for funerals of military, police and firefighters. A Heroe’s welcome is our most requested poem. It is available in most uniform combinations. If you are a funeral director or family member needing a digital copy for your virtual funeral, just fill out the contact form or email me at rob@sacredpoems.com.
