Our society is one that has long incorporated ceremony into important events. Generally, people who are requested to deliver eulogies are those people who are considered to know best the deceased person.
On the day of the funeral my uncle came and stood by my side as I read the funeral poem and I was so glad that he did, I thought that my heart was going to jump out of my chest, it was pounding that hard. While such responses are fairly common, there's really no cause for worry. Many aspects of modern society have programmed people to think that death is the end of everything.
This will help you not only to gather all the information to be included or mentioned in the eulogy, but also to enable you to decide early on the tone your writing will take. They have no family minister and would prefer a celebration of the life lived rather than a sermon. If you have any doubt about a particular story you'd like to share, get the honest opinion of someone else who is close to the family.
To be asked to deliver a memorial tribute is to be given the responsibility of assisting many. In this case, it is incumbent on the family to simply put into motion the decisions already made by their loved one.
