Funeral poems do not need to be sad or tearful, as long as they reflect the character of the person you have lost. A eulogy is a speech written to be read at funerals, to commemorate the memory of a departed one.
In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. When you are grieving, it is normal that your thoughts are about death, but remember it is about celebrating a life lived as well. Just having someone else on the stand by will put your mind at ease.
Celebrants are becoming more and more popular. If you are asked to speak at a memorial or funeral service and are having a difficult time writing down how this loss has made you or the family feel, consider including a poem in your tribute. They become a reflection of ancestors lives for generations to come.
Your love for the deceased person will be felt by the people who are listening to your speech. Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax.
