Prayer for Burial

Beloved one,
we give your body to the earth.
Earth Mother, Root Mother,
Father of soil,
we give you this body
of our beloved (name).
These eyes will never greet us again
return to earth
We will not kiss these lips
return to earth
or touch these hands
return to earth
or hear (her) voice speak our names
return to earth.
What (she) has been is gone.
What (she) is now has passed the gate,
leaving this body
to become soil,
this flesh to nurture flowers,
these bones to be roots of trees.
Chant: And so return, return, return,
return to the mother."
