An obituary can be a very personal look at a life. Knowing how to put together a public tribute for a funeral is a tough thing.
Planning a funeral service completely depends on the particular cultural and religious preferences of the deceased and their family. When you are grieving, it is normal that your thoughts are about death, but remember it is about celebrating a life lived as well. Funeral poems for Mom should be about either the type of person she was or what she would say to you right now if you could hear her, that's what made this poem so special for me.
Writing about a person who is no longer alive is very difficult and writing about their death is worse. Composing the obituary has to be carefully done as it needs to appear few days prior to the memorial service. 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.
Writing a eulogy for someone you knew well and probably loved can be a difficult thing to do. It is not something that can be written quickly.
