There is a growing collection of funeral poems. While your loved one was alive you never needed to dig down deep to explain to people just what they were like.
These three words are enough to convey to the grieving person that you understand the importance of the deceased person in his life and that you share his sadness. This is a sad time for all but when people come together to help each other in times of need, it will bring you all closer together and ease the stress on everyone. Many people are now choosing a private site such as a country club, university, or a relative's garden.
Look for a focal point or make eye contact with someone who can provide that extra strength you need. Eulogies can take a chronological approach, where the eulogist traces the person's life in the order in which it happened. A poem for the deceased that prompts that thought is invaluable after a loved one has died.
And it doesn't end after death. Again remember, the service and eulogy is held to honor the deceased and celebrate life.
