You are not only talking about the death of a loved one but also about how that person lived their lives. The purpose of the eulogy is to pay tribute to the deceased as a distinct individual, with unique talents and gifts, who will live on in the memories of the people who loved him.
It s not for summarising the person's life and it doesn t have to speak for all present. One detail that often escapes even the most thorough planner is to write an obituary. Collecting the information is also a good way to start as it will force you to write some things down.
There are those instances where the arrangements of funeral burial services are handled by the deceased prior to their death. You'll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, your gift will live on in the hearts of the deceased's family and friends. Eulogies are meant to convey the reasons the deceased will be missed and how much he was loved.
Be sure, though, not to include anything that may offend or embarrass. It takes time to grow in love, faith and hope.
