Still struggling as you all know with being more regular with the "Christian Connection". I'm just going share more and edit less. So today I've been ask to say a prayer after the viewing of the father of our dear friends (Pastor Rob is out of town this week.) Check out some of the verses I found by "google"ing Best Bible Verses for funerals. Love ya'll.

Funeral Verses
These verses are so beautiful and powerful.
John 11:25-26 NIV
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who
believes in me will live, even though he dies; (26) and whoever lives and
believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
Psalm 103: 8-17
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
Nor will he harbor his anger for ever;
He does not treat us as our sins deserve
Or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is his love for those who fear him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
For he knows how we are formed,
He remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass,
He flourishes like a flower of the field;
The wind blows over it and it is gone,
And its place remembers it not more.
But from everlasting to everlasting
The Lord's love is with those who fear him.
Revelation 21.1-7
I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first
heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw
the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne
saying,
'See, the home of God is among mortals.
He will dwell with them;
they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them;
he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.'
And the one who was seated on the throne said, 'See, I am making all things
new.' Also he said, 'Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.'
Then he said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the
water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their
God and they will be my children.'
John 6.35-40
Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes
to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. Everything that
the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never
drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the
will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should
lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This
is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him
may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.'
John 14.1-6
Jesus said to his disciples: 'Do not let your hearts be
troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are
many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to
prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.
And you know the way to the place where I am going.' Thomas said to him, 'Lord,
we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?' Jesus said to
him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.'
