Writing eulogy poems usually do not follow a certain rigid format but a few sensible tips would be of great help. In some cases, the deceased will have outlined the details of their own funeral many years prior to their death, of course this means that the family members are simply responsible for setting in motion this plan.
Here are a few helpful tips which may assist you in choosing the right poems and they may also help the readers of those poems. When you are grieving, it is normal that your thoughts are about death, but remember it is about celebrating a life lived as well. Any displays of affection, words that described the brighter side of their personalities will make someone feel special, will all count in the eulogy.
In some situations you may be speaking about the person from one point of view, family, work colleagues, golfing buddies, or whatever. From the Bible or other religious texts to anthologies and websites of eulogy poetry and inspirational quotes, you may find the words you seek. A funeral poem should about the person and their journey through life more than writing down your feelings.
No one will be timing you, with a stopwatch, so take your time. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
