210 Eggs and Ashes

Words to be said as the earth is turned:

Matter to matter
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
WE TURN THIS EARTH

Diggers and burrowers
Gardeners and growers
Ploughers and furrowers
WE TURN THIS EARTH

Spring to summer
Summer to harvest
Harvest to hibernation
WE TURN THIS EARTH

Turn us God
Turn us with the seasons
Turn us with the generations
TURN US WITH THE EARTH

Words of remembrance
(to be said after people have had the opportunity to think about and talk
about those who have died):

All our laughter, all our sadness
SAFE NOW IN GOD’S HANDS

All our anger, all our gladness
SAFE NOW IN GOD’S HANDS

All our stories, all our memories
SAFE NOW IN GOD’S HANDS

Those we remember, those we love
SAFE NOW IN GOD’S HANDS
