Since death is a certain fact that in most cases would cause grief and bereavement to the deceased's family, the existence and creation of eulogies is also certain. The key word is life, and you've been given the opportunity to celebrate a loved one's life in the individual way that made your friend unique.
General poems can be read during the eulogy by the person performing the funeral. A good eulogy is less a personal statement of your feelings about the person than a way to draw the mourners present together to share in recalling and celebrating the life that has been lost. You may feel that you are too sad or that you don't have the skills to write and deliver an appropriately moving tribute at a funeral or memorial service.
And because the funeral home is so ingrained in the landscape of the town, you will be met with a familiar face, people who know you and your family. If you attended school with the deceased, you might want to focus on your school days. Your loved one is at home.
There are many facets to planning a funeral. No one will be timing you, with a stopwatch, so take your time.
