You are not only talking about the death of a loved one but also about how that person lived their lives. Our society is one that has long incorporated ceremony into important events.
In some cases, the deceased has already made their own funeral arrangements years prior to their death and perhaps they had details that they felt were important to include in their funeral. It is at once something personal and a way to involve all of those present in remembering the good things about the life of the person who has passed on. Having a memorial poem or poetry to look back upon can really be an emotional strengthener.
Writing a eulogy is harder when you don't know how. If the deceased was a practical joker or light-hearted individual, maybe a poem that incorporates a bit of humor would remind their family of what a happy spirit that individual was. You will honor their life and their memory.
While overwhelming, it does not need to be confusing. Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax.

Why is your profile so vague?
Are you associate with funeral homes? What city do you live in?

Thank you
