During this traumatic and emotionally overwhelming time, we will also be faced with making the arrangements necessary for funeral services. As much as you love someone, recalling the details of their life at the time of their death is an overwhelming responsibility.
Eulogies may be written in various ways. Hopefully you have the love and support of family and friends throughout this painful time. Some funeral homes are small, family run establishments.
People should be able to supply you with information and their own personal experiences, suitable for a eulogy. People who read the obituary should feel a sense of loss or should feel they ought to have known the deceased. In the spirit of putting in a good word for the deceased, a eulogy will rarely dwell on any less attractive side of a person's life - a funeral is a time for positive thoughts, forgiveness and perhaps a little regret at lost opportunities; but traditionally it is not a time for accusations and controversy when the person is not in a position to come to his or her own defense.
Now, all you have to do is to find a practical way, using poems for the deceased, to remember that as you go through your daily life. Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes.
