Many others actually make their own funeral arrangements prior to their death including all of the details most important to them. Something they know would make the deceased proud to hear of.
The details that a funeral home will take care of include the care of the body, the hosting of a wake or viewing, the funeral services either there or in a place of worship and the burial. Just sit down and write from your heart. Appropriate humorous anecdotes may be interjected to lighten up the feeling of the audience.
Where did you loved one like to go on a Saturday afternoons, the beach, the tennis club, the golf course, fishing by a stream or to football games. A funeral poem should about the person and their journey through life more than writing down your feelings. They have no family minister and would prefer a celebration of the life lived rather than a sermon.
It takes time to grow in love, faith and hope. Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes.
