Funeral and Farewell Ceremony in Eastern Switzerland: It Was as if the Sky Had Silently Kissed the Earth!
In an hour of silence and farewell, I accompany you with an open heart and reverent mindfulness. As a freelance funeral speaker, I design farewell ceremonies that are marked by dignity, symbolic power, and love – rituals that offer comfort, build bridges between heaven and earth, and honor the deceased in gratitude. My ceremonies combine the clarity of Zen with the depth of Christian wisdom and monastic tradition. Thus, your memorial service becomes a conscious, symbolic, and unforgettable experience – from heart to heart. Whether at the cemetery, a memorial gathering in a familiar circle, or scattering ashes in the mountains, by the lake, or in the forest – the ceremony becomes a reflection of the personality of the person who has left us. Relatives of all faiths are welcome. Upon request, we weave symbols and rituals from different traditions together, so that every mourner finds comfort in their own language of faith.
In the picturesque Eastern Switzerland, with its gentle hills, dense forests, and clear lakes, there is an ideal setting for a dignified funeral or farewell ceremony. Places like the Kobelwald forest cemetery near St. Gallen or nature-oriented burial sites in the region allow for a harmonious connection with nature, where the farewell becomes a moment of deep spiritual reflection. As a funeral speaker in Eastern Switzerland, Master Reding, Abbot of Nigredo Monastery in Reichenburg, stands by your side to individually design a memorial service or funeral – whether in St. Gallen, Appenzell, Thurgau, or Zurich.
Prayer and Meditation: Spiritual Depth in the Memorial Service
In the silence of the Eastern Swiss landscape, prayer and meditation invite you to honor the pain and find inner peace. Meister Reding as a freelance funeral speaker weaves mystical and religious elements into the farewell ceremony that provide comfort and address transience:
It was as if the sky had silently kissed the earth. That she must now dream of him in the shimmer of blossoms. The air passed through the fields, the ears swayed gently, the forests rustled softly, so star-clear was the night. And my soul spread its wings wide, flew through the silent lands as if flying home.
The memory remains, no one can take it from you. You don't want to hear the comforting words now, for they sound like foreign choirs. For they sing songs in foreign languages. Your heart speaks a different language at the moment. Don't try to understand it, for it will pass one day too. It will take a long time until it's over, but then it will become more bearable to live with it. Accept the language of your heart, for you don't speak it alone. Millions of people speak it at some point. You are not alone.
Comfort yourself, the hours hasten, and whatever may weigh on you, even the worst cannot linger, and another day comes. In the eternal coming and going, like pain, lies happiness too. And cheerful images find their way back to you. Endure, hope. Not in vain do you count the strike of the hours. Change is the lot of life, and another day comes.
Do not stand weeping at my grave. I do not lie there in deep sleep. I am the wind over the roaring sea. I am the shimmer on fresh snow. I am the sun in golden splendor. I am the shine of stars at night. When you awaken in the silence of the morning, I am the flock of birds pulling across, circling through the sky. Do not stand weeping at my grave, for I am not there. I am not dead. I am not gone.
These words, inspired by ancient wisdom, underscore the message of spiritual connectedness. In a memorial service in Eastern Switzerland, Meister Reding integrates such texts with Zen meditations or Christian prayers to create an atmosphere of healing – open to all faiths.
