In this emotional time, the taking on of detailed arrangements can seem absolutely impossible. A funeral doesn t have to be family and friends sitting in front of a dead body saying the rosary.
If loved ones are left to make the decisions then choices need to be made during an already stressful and exhausting period of time. Poems can be the perfect way to get across what you want to say. Read through the funeral poem several times (out loud) before the funeral so that you feel comfortable with the words.
Having very definite ideas on what they want, they leave detailed instructions on how they wish to be honored. Some people actually find it easier to stick to a theme, during the writing process, making it a bit easier for the words to flow. Many families and friends choose to write their own poems or essays about the deceased to have read at memorial services or posted on online memorial sites.
Writing a eulogy for someone you knew well and probably loved can be a difficult thing to do. Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax.
