While the type of funeral and the customs surrounding it depend largely on culture and location, a few simple tips can help you get through planning and organizing a funeral with minimal stress and complications. Death is never easy, there is nothing to cushion its blow or minimize the pain of it.
Just sit down and write from your heart. When friends and family die, there is a void, an empty feeling that is hard to fill. A way of saying that there lies a promise of a reunion of the dead and the living in another place and another time.
Acknowledge the important people and achievements in his life. Many families today do not participate in an organized religion or church. During funerals, it is suggested that you ask the bereaved if you can do anything to help them.
Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes. Practice delivering your eulogy in front of a mirror or a friend in order that you can see if improvements or additional editing have to be made.
