A FUNERAL DIRECTOR ASSISTANT'S PRAYER

Lord, give me the Patience needed to serve everyone as my own.

The Wisdom to understand others feelings.

The Knowledge to learn as well as instruct.

The Kindness to treat everyone equally at all times.

The Strength to endure long hours and hard work.

The Desire to serve others as I would my own family.

The Humility to accept words of thanks and praise.

The Compassion to be able to touch another's soul.

The Pride and the right to smile when I have served a family well.

And most importantly, the Right to shed an honest tear when my heart is touched.

In loving memory of Don Martyn 1943-2025
