If you are organising a funeral or memorial service you may find readings from the New Testament in Scots to be relevant or appropriate. Religious funeral services often include readings from the New Testament. 

The following readings are some of those which are frequently found in Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic services and can offer comfort and consolation to the bereaved. 

The recordings on this page can be used at funeral services or you could ask a friend or relative to read from the New Testament in Scots itself.
