About
Keith Stokes-Smith
Keith Stokes-Smith was brought up in Solihull, moving to Worcestershire in 1997 . Writing poems came easy to him in his twenties, early thirties.
In 2016 his mother passed away. Two weeks later, on a train journey to London, he belatedly wrote a bespoke poem for her funeral and written as if she had composed it to be read out by her at her funeral; a strange concept you might think. From then on he found himself uncontrollably inspired to write more adopting words spoken by fictitious people of fictitious ages in fictitious circumstances. In essence, he has tried to be in the mind of the reader. His poems may be considered somewhat unique coupled very often with them having a sense of humour.

Our Poems
Each poem in our collection has been selected to reflect the personal and unique event that a funeral is. It provides a way for you to be the centre of the funeral through your choice of verse. In that way, what is read at your funeral will include your wishes.

We aim to provide a service that assists you through the process of planning a funeral, with resources to guide you by helping you choose a poem that reflects what you would like said for and about you by someone you trust.
Funeral-Poems is more than a collection of verses. Each verse aims to reflect different thoughts, emotions, wishes, concerns, hopes, joys and sadness. Our hope is that those who have experienced loss can find support and understanding within these verses of remembrance and that the poems can speak for them.
