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. To prepare a eulogy, you will need to be well prepared.
But in any case funeral poems serve like an ode to the person who died. People who attend funerals must be aware of the proper etiquettes to be observed during this time. Simple and soothing words acknowledging a loss, accompanied by a meaningful sympathy or condolence poem can touch a heart like nothing else can.
It is best not to push the bereaved to talk about his lost loved one rather this should be a spontaneous thing. Memories are bound to come up during your conversation with the aggrieved, and no matter how repetitive it might become, just try to be patient in listening. If the deceased was a practical joker or light-hearted individual, maybe a poem that incorporates a bit of humor would remind their family of what a happy spirit that individual was.
You can include poems, quotations or passages from the Bible, when appropriate. I know some of what you are feeling right now which is why I wrote these articles.
