Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend the soul of Thy departed servant (name), and ask Thee to grant (him/her) rest in the place of Thy rest, where all Thy blessed Saints repose, and where the light of Thy countenance shines forever. And I ask Thee also to grant that my present life may be Godly, sober, and blameless, and that, I too may be made worthy to enter into Thy heavenly Kingdom with those that we love, but no longer see; for Thou art the Resurrection, life, and the Repose of Thy departed servants, O Christ our God, and unto Thee to we offer glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
