It is not necessary that a eulogy be a detailed summary of how the deceased person spent his life, but rather it can concentrate on particular positive situations or circumstances. It is considered a great honor to be asked to write a eulogy and while the whole purpose of an eulogy is to speak from the heart while commemorating the person who has passed away, there are a few things to remember to help you along with writing an eulogy.
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. Arranging the funeral, including the funeral music, is simply a matter of setting into motion those choices. I was looking for something classy and fitting for the best mother in the world, so I went for something by Mary Elizabeth Fry which was a very fitting funeral poem.
And because the funeral home is so ingrained in the landscape of the town, you will be met with a familiar face, people who know you and your family. You will honor their life and their memory. 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.
As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better. If you follow these tips on how to write a resolution for a funeral, you will be able to stay strong and write your eulogy.
