Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one. Few of us have time to learn how to write a eulogy in advance.
But when there is no plan in place, it is up to the family to find funeral information that will help them make these important decisions. The eulogy should convey your feelings and your experiences and should be written in an informal, conversational tone. The most defining characteristic of a good eulogy is that it is personal.
If you find meaning in a poem, reading, or quote that reminds you of your loved one, consider sharing it in your eulogy. This is a celebration of your loved ones life, you shouldn't feel that it is necessary to find poems which are too morbid, if you want something up beat and cheerful then do it. They have no family minister and would prefer a celebration of the life lived rather than a sermon.
Think about your life and what would you like most remembered. Be sure, though, not to include anything that may offend or embarrass.
