poems for father's funeral - First things first

Close family members and friends are also asked to speak on the subject, but may not know what to say. A funeral doesn t have to be family and friends sitting in front of a dead body saying the rosary.

The best services mix memories, comfort and encouragement. Still others choose to hold a memorial service following the burial in a place special to the deceased. Some funeral homes and cremation societies have rooms for you to use.

But ensure it is not over whelming because it might upset the bereaving family. People should realize through the poem that they lived with a kind soul and great person. Some people actually find it easier to stick to a theme, during the writing process, making it a bit easier for the words to flow.

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. You can include poems, quotations or passages from the Bible, when appropriate.
