Few of us have time to learn how to write a eulogy in advance. They have a lot of positive effect because something which is beautifully written and sensible expressed can actually have a soothing effect on the bereaving.
In some cases, the deceased has already made their own funeral arrangements years prior to their death and perhaps they had details that they felt were important to include in their funeral. It need not only be a summation of the public facts, but a glimpse of the uniqueness, when combined with those facts, created a personality. In the event of the deceased having led a life that was terribly hard for them, or they were ill towards the end of their life, leave that part out.
There are numerous memorial service, condolence and sympathy poems written and easily available. If you are a coworker, you can focus on work-related memories and humorous anecdotes. A marvelous life that is now celebrated forever.
Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes. Above all, remember to breathe.
