Even reading funeral poems for someone close can be a very hard and traumatic experience, although this is one thing that I'm glad I did. Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one.
One detail that often escapes even the most thorough planner is to write an obituary. Also while it would be possible to go on for hours how this particular person touched your life, it is advisable to keep it relatively short so that the message you are trying to convey is clear, precise and sticks in the mind of listeners. Included in the details of these funeral burial services are a number of choices including a person to lead the service, flowers, music, and even photos if you choose to honor the deceased in this way.
One of the most troubling thoughts that many people have is they when ask when is my loved one coming home. This is a celebration of your loved ones life, you shouldn't feel that it is necessary to find poems which are too morbid, if you want something up beat and cheerful then do it. From the Bible or other religious texts to anthologies and websites of eulogy poetry and inspirational quotes, you may find the words you seek.
Be sure, though, not to include anything that may offend or embarrass. Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy.
