When I lost my mother there was no way on earth that I could have written a shopping list never mind poems for funeral tributes. It is essential to work with a reputable funeral home that will compassionately walk you through the process of making final arrangements.
Just sit down and write from your heart. Also while it would be possible to go on for hours how this particular person touched your life, it is advisable to keep it relatively short so that the message you are trying to convey is clear, precise and sticks in the mind of listeners. There are a lot of funeral poems which are written by famous poets and also there are poems which are written by anonymous people too but they are very good.
Give them a copy of your eulogy. A funeral poem should about the person and their journey through life more than writing down your feelings. Using poetry to help with grief, to express love or pain and to memorialize a friend or family member is very powerful and will be appreciated by others who have experienced a loss.
It is important that you avoid any statements or references that portray the deceased in a negative manner. 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.
