A lot of people read out poems at wakes and funerals. No matter how we re feeling, there are certain arrangements that we must make including funeral burial services.
It s not for summarising the person's life and it doesn t have to speak for all present. If you have been asked to deliver a eulogy, appreciate the honor you have been given. The rest of the eulogy can be based on wonderful memories and personal experiences, shared with the deceased.
In the event that you are asked to deliver a eulogy for a person, whom you don't know well, the first thing you should do is speak with friends and family members, if possible. Some people actually find it easier to stick to a theme, during the writing process, making it a bit easier for the words to flow. Eulogies can take a chronological approach, where the eulogist traces the person's life in the order in which it happened.
And it doesn't end after death. It is not something that can be written quickly.
