Public speaking does not come easy, but delivering an eulogy you have written may be the most difficult task you have taken upon yourself to do. The best poems for funerals are ones which you can visualize your loved one through, a certain word, phrase or even the entire poem should feel as if it was written about them.
It's a good idea to turn to your church for help. A eulogy that presents itself well is one that displays the humorous and loving nature of the deceased. If you are the type to plan ahead, this will result in much less stress and expense for your loved ones.
This part can take the form of a narrative, the way that the person's history did, or several people can get up to talk about their memories of the deceased. If you are asked to speak at a memorial or funeral service and are having a difficult time writing down how this loss has made you or the family feel, consider including a poem in your tribute. If you are still looking for funeral poems, I have written more on the subject which I hope you may find useful.
Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones. The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow.
