Death is never easy, there is nothing to cushion its blow or minimize the pain of it. Central to the funeral and concluding the public grieving period following a death is the eulogy, a funeral speech about the person who died.
And if cremation is something you choose, they will help you with the details surrounding the process. The audience for your funeral speech couldn't be more sympathetic and welcoming, and your deep feelings for the person who died will make the eulogy powerful. There are a lot of funeral poems which are written by famous poets and also there are poems which are written by anonymous people too but they are very good.
Remember even if it is a sea of strangers in front of you, not one person will judge you for it. They become a reflection of ancestors lives for generations to come. In the spirit of putting in a good word for the deceased, a eulogy will rarely dwell on any less attractive side of a person's life - a funeral is a time for positive thoughts, forgiveness and perhaps a little regret at lost opportunities; but traditionally it is not a time for accusations and controversy when the person is not in a position to come to his or her own defense.
Make sure to jot down notes as you think of them before writing the full eulogy. As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better.
