Central to the funeral and concluding the public grieving period following a death is the eulogy, a funeral speech about the person who died. It is a sensitive time and a sad one for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one.
The best eulogy would be a combination of both mentioned above, done in good taste and with a positive outlook. My feelings are that you should go with what feels right for you and what your departed loved one may have wanted. Studies show that people who have suffered losses accept their situation quickly with the help of other people who are willing to listen and help them deal with their grief.
If you find meaning in a poem, reading, or quote that reminds you of your loved one, consider sharing it in your eulogy. Just like when our loved ones are at home with us and spend time in our living room. The family is free to participate as much or little as they wish in the funeral.
I know some of what you are feeling right now which is why I wrote these articles. Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones.
