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. Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be difficult and may require talking about your feelings, expressing your condolences to a family member or writing about your grief.
Personal experiences are expected to be re told and reminisced, and to be shared with other people who will be listening. To be given the task of delivering a eulogy is really an honor hence the responsibility of providing a clear and positive picture of the person you will be talking about is in order. Included in the details of these funeral burial services are a number of choices including a person to lead the service, flowers, music, and even photos if you choose to honor the deceased in this way.
Rehearse your eulogy with a family member or a friend to get their feedback, so you can edit if it is necessary. 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'll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, your gift will live on in the hearts of the deceased's family and friends.
Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life. Again remember, the service and eulogy is held to honor the deceased and celebrate life.
