Having the obituary already written and on file with your funeral provider, is not as difficult to do as you may think. Since death is a certain fact that in most cases would cause grief and bereavement to the deceased's family, the existence and creation of eulogies is also certain.
The speaker has to be careful how to represent the loved one and should be aware they have the responsibility of keeping it light hearted. Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. Some funeral homes are small, family run establishments.
When it's time to make the speech, no matter how you deliver it in the end, the important thing to remember is that it will leave the love in the hearts of all the people who attend the funeral. If it helps, concentrate on one person in the audience that you know and love and speak to them. From the Bible or other religious texts to anthologies and websites of eulogy poetry and inspirational quotes, you may find the words you seek.
Writing a eulogy for someone you knew well and probably loved can be a difficult thing to do. Practice delivering your eulogy in front of a mirror or a friend in order that you can see if improvements or additional editing have to be made.
