writing funeral resolutions

In truth, not many of us ever find ourselves faced with writing a eulogy. You should always remember that the funeral is a way to celebrate their life, not their death.

In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. Standing up in front of so many of her friends and family to say the final goodbye's helped me to finally accept that she'd gone, even though it was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do in my life. Funeral homes have the experience and compassion to walk you through the funeral arrangements, helping you to decide on details such as service, burial, flowers, music, and other personal touches that will add to the funeral services.

Information found through the Internet will give you a guideline in planning a memorial service tailored to the personality of the deceased. From the Bible or other religious texts to anthologies and websites of eulogy poetry and inspirational quotes, you may find the words you seek. You should refer to the deceased person by name, using no other terms.

Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones. Again remember, the service and eulogy is held to honor the deceased and celebrate life.
