The key word is life, and you've been given the opportunity to celebrate a loved one's life in the individual way that made your friend unique. Although being asked to give a eulogy is truly an honor, if you're the one who's been chosen, you may find yourself feeling anxious about the task before you.
The audience for your funeral speech couldn't be more sympathetic and welcoming, and your deep feelings for the person who died will make the eulogy powerful. Written by someone who is close to you, an obituary becomes an intimate view of what made you memorable to others. Writing down the information will help you to observe the flow of your eulogy.
Once you've gathered your information, decide how you will organize it. If you start to break down, take a moment, compose yourself and continue with the speech. During funerals, it is suggested that you ask the bereaved if you can do anything to help them.
And it doesn't end after death. Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy.
