Today many people are shying away from traditional memorial services and choosing instead to create a memorable, personalized life celebration. You are not only talking about the death of a loved one but also about how that person lived their lives.
If loved ones are left to make the decisions then choices need to be made during an already stressful and exhausting period of time. The right memorial service poetry can really set the mood for the whole ceremony. Any displays of affection, words that described the brighter side of their personalities will make someone feel special, will all count in the eulogy.
If your voice starts to crack, take a deep breath and read slower. Humor in good taste relieves stress and anxiety, and it's almost certain to be welcomed by the funeral guests. If you attended school with the deceased, you might want to focus on your school days.
You can include poems, quotations or passages from the Bible, when appropriate. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
