In truth, not many of us ever find ourselves faced with writing a eulogy. Writing a poem for parent's funeral can be near impossible, you've just lost one or both of the most loving people in the world and writing a funeral poem is probably going to be impossible.
The best services mix memories, comfort and encouragement. It will contain highlights, perhaps about the deceased's schooling and work careers, but definitely something about their families. And if you feel that the grief may overtake you, ask a friend or a family member to stand in and read your eulogy.
Free resources and free sample eulogy poems abound on the internet which can be used as inspiration or as templates for your very own. Eulogies are meant to convey the reasons the deceased will be missed and how much he was loved. A poem you write for someone you know of might just bring the same reassuring message to other families who suffer through death.
The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow. If you find it hard to think of moving things to say, you may want to look at various sources for inspiration or short quotes to include in your speech.
