funeral for a friend

A statement, also known as a eulogy or a religious tribute to a deceased person, is not easy for most people to write or think of. Close family members and friends are also asked to speak on the subject, but may not know what to say.

Seeing a life celebrated and hearing words of sympathy and celebration from others often helps them move through their own grief journey. This page is a sanctuary for different collection of funeral poems created by people as they were inspired by grief. A eulogy is designed to memorialize and celebrate the good things in the person's life.

While some are buried in family cemetery plots, others are entombed in mausoleums. Make sure that your resolution is short, especially if other people are planning on giving separate eulogies. A poem for the deceased that prompts that thought is invaluable after a loved one has died.

Grief is not something we can simply set aside. Ultimately, the most important thing is to reflect the unique personality of the deceased.
