And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
4. **2 Corinthians 5:1-5**: "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands...

A unique request!
While the Bible doesn't explicitly provide "Death" verses, I can suggest some comforting and meaningful passages that might be suitable for a funeral or memorial service:
1. **John 14:2-3**: "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
2. **Psalm 23:1-4**: "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. And even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me."
3. **Luke 16:19-25**: "Now there was a rich man, and he lived in luxury every day. But he did not take a thing from his possessions. And I asked him, 'Fellow man, how is it that you are well and happy, while the poor man here has to gather up the leftovers of your feasts, even though he does not lack anything?' The rich man said, 'That's the truth. When someone dies, their wealth goes with them.' So I said to him, 'You should be afraid; for God can take away everything you have worked so hard for. You should repent, because death is coming, and then whoever has riches will leave them behind. But those who do good will live on.'"
4. **Revelation 21:3-5**: "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with humanity. He will dwell among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning, crying, and pain will be no more, for the old things have passed away.'"
5. **2 Corinthians 5:1-8**: "For we know that if our earthly house is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. And again, I say, if our earthly house is destroyed, we are at home with the Lord. If it says 'believe in him,' it means he is faithful to do so."
These verses offer comfort, hope, and reassurance that death is not an end, but rather a transition to eternal life.
