funeral march

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. If you're looking for a poem to read at a funeral there are certain things you should be aware of first.

One detail that often escapes even the most thorough planner is to write an obituary. Some of the best funeral poems only need to be read once for you to see your loved one in them, don't try to read too much into any one poem, you may just be forcing the verse into how others saw the deceased, the funeral poems should feel natural. Any displays of affection, words that described the brighter side of their personalities will make someone feel special, will all count in the eulogy.

Acknowledge the important people and achievements in his life. This is a great way for those that are able to express their feelings on paper to do so and share those words to help heal the grief experienced by other family members as well. A funeral poem should about the person and their journey through life more than writing down your feelings.

Be sure, though, not to include anything that may offend or embarrass. It is not something that can be written quickly.
