Death is not an easy subject for anyone to discuss or cope with. Not everyone is going to feel the same way about the loved on that you have lost so the poems may seem irrelevant to them.
You are taking the time and expressing and sharing the love that you felt for that person. Standing up in front of so many of her friends and family to say the final goodbye's helped me to finally accept that she'd gone, even though it was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do in my life. There are towns in which every family visits the neighborhood funeral home at one time or another.
Often mementos are kept for many years, framed for the family or left at the grave site as a reminder of the deceased. We leave the dark and dim home of our mother's womb to discover a new home in a brighter, wider world. They can also be given as a story of a variety of portraits of important moments, snapshots of tender times, gently humorous anecdotes, and the like.
Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work. As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better.
