funeral blues

Funeral or memorial services are also a means to share in the pain and express love for the deceased in order to heal. Close family members and friends are also asked to speak on the subject, but may not know what to say.

They will work with family members to choose a method of burial including the choice of a casket. In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. You can feel free to draw on the thoughts of a large group of people for their recollections, feelings and opinions, and speak on their behalf as well as expressing your own personal thoughts.

Acknowledge the important people and achievements in his life. Finally, a eulogy needs to be written as a speech, in a form that is easy to deliver. 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.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to reflect the unique personality of the deceased. If you find it hard to think of moving things to say, you may want to look at various sources for inspiration or short quotes to include in your speech.
