They just keep it for themselves as part of their memories with the dead person. Losing a family member or close friend can be devastating and can have a lasting effect on all who knew the person who has passed.
As much as the poem is written as a tribute to the deceased, it should also be considered as a reassurance to the living. An important step is to consider the finer points of the life history of the person. All you have to do is write and talk from your heart, and let your audience identify with your memories and emotions.
And because the funeral home is so ingrained in the landscape of the town, you will be met with a familiar face, people who know you and your family. If the person who passed enjoyed the outdoors, maybe a memorial poem with colorful forest or nature-like imagery would speak to the audience, and properly pay tribute to the lost loved one. If you are still looking for funeral poems, I have written more on the subject which I hope you may find useful.
And it doesn't end after death. Above all, remember to breathe.
