funeral for a friend

Some opt to use these poems as part of their eulogies. Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one.

In this part of a tribute, the deceased person's life is summed up in a few paragraphs. Since a death is always associated with a painful loss, poems should be in an uplifting and inspirational tone. A way of saying that there lies a promise of a reunion of the dead and the living in another place and another time.

Free resources and free sample eulogy poems abound on the internet which can be used as inspiration or as templates for your very own. Humor in good taste relieves stress and anxiety, and it's almost certain to be welcomed by the funeral guests. While it's probably not wise to crack jokes, a little humor will help to lift the spirits of those attending the services.

Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work. Your relationship with your deceased loved ones did not begin and stop overnight.
