Writing eulogy poems usually do not follow a certain rigid format but a few sensible tips would be of great help. The pain of his or her physical absence seems like it is sometimes too much to bear.
Since a death is always associated with a painful loss, poems should be in an uplifting and inspirational tone. Funeral burial services include everything from the coming together in memoriam and prayer to the burying of the deceased. I was looking for something classy and fitting for the best mother in the world, so I went for something by Mary Elizabeth Fry which was a very fitting funeral poem.
And if all of your practice fails and you cry, that is alright too. Focus your writings on what the deceased did during their lifetimes, and not on the sadness of their death. A funeral poem should about the person and their journey through life more than writing down your feelings.
While overwhelming, it does not need to be confusing. It is not something that can be written quickly.
