A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate. Having the obituary already written and on file with your funeral provider, is not as difficult to do as you may think.
Arranging the funeral, including the funeral music, is simply a matter of setting into motion those choices. In trying times it can be a struggle to keep your composure, however making notes will help you focus. These words are enough to show that you sincerely care for the bereaved.
While eulogy is about your memories and your perception of the deceased keep in mind that eulogy is a tribute to the person who has passed on. It is, in fact, acceptable to include humorous moments in a eulogy. The family is free to participate as much or little as they wish in the funeral.
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. Death is hard to accept but can be made easier by the love extended by people who truly care.
