Some opt to use these poems as part of their eulogies. Close family members and friends are also asked to speak on the subject, but may not know what to say.
Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. One detail that often escapes even the most thorough planner is to write an obituary. The rest of the eulogy can be based on wonderful memories and personal experiences, shared with the deceased.
Ask other family members and friends to share their memories, anecdotes and stories of how that person touched their lives. Poems can range in topics and styles, flowery or overly dramatic poetry is not the only option available. If it helps, concentrate on one person in the audience that you know and love and speak to them.
Practice delivering your eulogy in front of a mirror or a friend in order that you can see if improvements or additional editing have to be made. Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work.
