What does Friar Laurence say to comfort the Capulet family?

Answer 1

He tries to comfort them by instructing them to bring Juliet to the families tomb.

Friar Laurence tells them that she is in a better place now, and that they could not prevent her from dying someday, but heaven will give her eternal life. So they should be happy.

Answer 2

The Friar says (in modern language):

Be quiet, for shame! The cure for confusion is not yelling and screaming. You had this child with the help of heaven. Now heaven has her. She is in a better place. You could not prevent her from dying someday, but heaven will give her eternal life. The most you hope for was for her to marry wealthy and rise up the social ladder-that was your idea of heaven. And now you cry, even though she has risen up above the clouds, as high as heaven itself? Oh, in this love, you love your child so badly, that you go mad, even though she is in heaven. It is best to marry well and die young, better than to be married for a long time. Dry up your tears, and put your rosemary on this beautiful corpse. And, in accordance with custom, carry her to the church in her best clothes. It's natural for us to shed tears for her, but the truth is, we should be happy for her.

(so basically be happy for her being in a better place. in addition heaven is giving her more than they ever could've.)
