An effective eulogy does not happen in just a blink of an eye. Funeral poems do not need to be sad or tearful, as long as they reflect the character of the person you have lost.
The audience for your funeral speech couldn't be more sympathetic and welcoming, and your deep feelings for the person who died will make the eulogy powerful. In trying times it can be a struggle to keep your composure, however making notes will help you focus. More than talking, listening is very important during funerals.
Once you are done with the writing, practice a few times in front of a family member, a friend, even a mirror will suffice. This is a celebration of your loved ones life, you shouldn't feel that it is necessary to find poems which are too morbid, if you want something up beat and cheerful then do it. A Celebrant will honor a family's wishes and will present either a religious or non-religious gathering.
Writing a eulogy for someone you knew well and probably loved can be a difficult thing to do. While overwhelming, it does not need to be confusing.
