  1. It's from the Book of Common Prayer.  

    Here's a link to the burial service from the 1928 US edition:

    See page 11.




  2. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

    From the English Burial Service. Adapted from the Biblical text, Genesis 3:19

  4. Sorry , I cant find that speech. However. not on net.Not in my prayer book.. However if you go to a funeral home or church, they probably will have a copy of the basic outline speech and will give you a copy. Or you can go to the library and check in up in the religion section.  ( I always went to funeral that is officiated by a priest/ deacon/pastor and many different version of funerals were recited ( always with ashes to ashes , dust to dust) In Christiantiy. ( Below ) is where ashes fo ashes dust to dust comes from

    Thanks in the meantime you can check where the ashes to askes , dust to dust came from ( since I read too quickly)

    WE  ( HUMANS ) ARE DUST AND ASHES AND RETURN TO DUST  ( so we return to the earth as dust and ashes)

    until we rise in Last Judgment

    THESE GEN.3.19. EZEKIEL 27.18

    'Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return' (Genesis 3:19), and 'I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee' (Ezekiel 27:18).

    Genesis.

    3:19 - ".....till you return to the ground , because from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return."

    Genesis 18:27 - " And Abraham answered and said, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes." " ( I AM BUT DUST AND ASHES)
