Central to the funeral and concluding the public grieving period following a death is the eulogy, a funeral speech about the person who died. A lot of people read out poems at wakes and funerals.
In this part of a tribute, the deceased person's life is summed up in a few paragraphs. Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. Simple and soothing words acknowledging a loss, accompanied by a meaningful sympathy or condolence poem can touch a heart like nothing else can.
Still others choose to be cremated and their ashes spread in a particularly special place. By doing a little research, you will have an idea of how your eulogy should flow. Eulogies can take a chronological approach, where the eulogist traces the person's life in the order in which it happened.
As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better. Make sure to jot down notes as you think of them before writing the full eulogy.
