Long funeral poems are very difficult to get through without plenty of support and practice and choose the poems you want, not what everyone else thinks you should read. The pain of his or her physical absence seems like it is sometimes too much to bear.
The audience for your funeral speech couldn't be more sympathetic and welcoming, and your deep feelings for the person who died will make the eulogy powerful. A good eulogy is less a personal statement of your feelings about the person than a way to draw the mourners present together to share in recalling and celebrating the life that has been lost. An obituary can be as basic as containing only public facts about a person's life like their birth, family tree, their death.
Just knowing you have a backup speaker will probably be all you need to stay calm. Just like when our loved ones are at home with us and spend time in our living room. You should refer to the deceased person by name, using no other terms.
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. Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work.
