What do you say at a Sailors funeral?
Saw a show about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Really sad when they
ring the bell.
For whom the bell tolls

That's a Rob't Louis Stevenson poem. He wrote it a few days

UNDER the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie:
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you 'grave for me:
Here he lies where he long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Seems always hard to find fitting words for a sailors eulegy.
Know any better?
