The death of a loved one is never easy and even if when expected it always hurts. When I lost my mother there was no way on earth that I could have written a shopping list never mind poems for funeral tributes.
It will contain highlights, perhaps about the deceased's schooling and work careers, but definitely something about their families. Grieving family and friends want others to remember their loved one's life and acknowledge them. Read through the funeral poem several times (out loud) before the funeral so that you feel comfortable with the words.
If you don t have a well known funeral home in your town, then talk to friends and family who can give suggestions. To add a poem to your eulogy or condolence letter, first you must consider who the person was and what they would have appreciated or enjoyed read. From the Bible or other religious texts to anthologies and websites of eulogy poetry and inspirational quotes, you may find the words you seek.
Death is hard to accept but can be made easier by the love extended by people who truly care. Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy.
