It is a sensitive time and a sad one for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one. Funeral poems do not need to be sad or tearful, as long as they reflect the character of the person you have lost.
Grief is much easier to deal with when you have a faith filled hope that a deceased loved one is connected to God and you in a relationship that may have changed, but has not ended. Missing a loved one after death can be a difficult time. In the event of the deceased having led a life that was terribly hard for them, or they were ill towards the end of their life, leave that part out.
In your speech, you can talk about the work that a deceased person did with their church or other religious organization, and share how they touched others lives. In other cases, it is necessary for the family to arrange funeral burial services on their own. Even if they do not have anything in mind, it helps a lot on the part of a grieving person to know that he is surrounded by friends that care for his welfare.
The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow. And it doesn't end after death.
