A eulogy is a speech written to be read at funerals, to commemorate the memory of a departed one. To prepare a eulogy, you will need to be well prepared.
It need not only be a summation of the public facts, but a glimpse of the uniqueness, when combined with those facts, created a personality. The right memorial service poetry can really set the mood for the whole ceremony. And if you feel that the grief may overtake you, ask a friend or a family member to stand in and read your eulogy.
It is important to sit down, take a deep breath and write down a few points you can make. This is a great way for those that are able to express their feelings on paper to do so and share those words to help heal the grief experienced by other family members as well. People should realize through the poem that they lived with a kind soul and great person.
You can include poems, quotations or passages from the Bible, when appropriate. If you are gifted with the blessing and talent of writing poetry for the dead, share it.
