Remembering someone special in a personal way can be healing for everyone concerned, for a eulogy is a deeply personal way of saying goodbye. The pain of his or her physical absence seems like it is sometimes too much to bear.
Personal experiences are expected to be re told and reminisced, and to be shared with other people who will be listening. It is usually read to commemorate a dearly departed, to celebrate the life spent here on earth and the memories that go with him. A way of saying that there lies a promise of a reunion of the dead and the living in another place and another time.
Pulling together a selection of memories and comments about those things can be a remarkable way to begin to deal with your own grief. Poems can range in topics and styles, flowery or overly dramatic poetry is not the only option available. This is a celebration of your loved ones life, you shouldn't feel that it is necessary to find poems which are too morbid, if you want something up beat and cheerful then do it.
And it doesn't end after death. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
