funeral hymns

An obituary can be a very personal look at a life. Death is not an easy subject for anyone to discuss or cope with.

In many cultures and religious traditions, part of these rituals is the delivery of a eulogy, a short memorial message celebrating the person's accomplishments and important moments. It is at once something personal and a way to involve all of those present in remembering the good things about the life of the person who has passed on. It will take a little time to make it perfect, so do not get frustrated if you are unable to write eulogy in one sitting.

If you re afraid you might break down while in the middle of the eulogy and find yourself unable to recover, ask someone ahead of time to be ready to take over at a signal from you. Focus your writings on what the deceased did during their lifetimes, and not on the sadness of their death. To add a poem to your eulogy or condolence letter, first you must consider who the person was and what they would have appreciated or enjoyed read.

If you find it hard to think of moving things to say, you may want to look at various sources for inspiration or short quotes to include in your speech. Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones.
