Remembering someone special in a personal way can be healing for everyone concerned, for a eulogy is a deeply personal way of saying goodbye. A eulogy is a well-crafted speech, which a person is designated to prepare and deliver during a funeral ceremony.
If loved ones are left to make the decisions then choices need to be made during an already stressful and exhausting period of time. A good eulogy is less a personal statement of your feelings about the person than a way to draw the mourners present together to share in recalling and celebrating the life that has been lost. To provide funeral music that will reveal the taste and personality of the person you wish to honor, look to that person s personal music collection.
A poem comes from the heart, is a fitting tribute to the dead and the living to be remembered in time. Keep the tone of the eulogy personal and use simple language so that the listeners can connect more directly to your words and the memories it conveys of the deceased. A poem you write for someone you know of might just bring the same reassuring message to other families who suffer through death.
No one will be timing you, with a stopwatch, so take your time. Your love for the deceased person will be felt by the people who are listening to your speech.
