O G-d, full of compassion, Thou who dwellest on high,
grant perfect rest beneath the shelter of thy divine presence
among the holy and pure who shine as the brightness of the
firmament on the soul of my beloved [Name of family member] who has gone to
[ his / her ] eternal home. Mayest Thou, O G-d of Mercy, shelter
[ him / her ] forever under the wings of Thy presence,
May [ his / her ] soul be bound up in the bond of life eternal, and
grant that the memories of [ his / her ] life inspire me always to
noble and consecrated living. Amen.
