Writing eulogy poems usually do not follow a certain rigid format but a few sensible tips would be of great help. A funeral speech is possibly the most important speech that you have ever written.
Also while it would be possible to go on for hours how this particular person touched your life, it is advisable to keep it relatively short so that the message you are trying to convey is clear, precise and sticks in the mind of listeners. General poems can be read during the eulogy by the person performing the funeral. Lastly, do not forget to breathe and just be yourself.
Writing a eulogy is harder when you don't know how. A poem for the deceased that prompts that thought is invaluable after a loved one has died. If the person who passed enjoyed the outdoors, maybe a memorial poem with colorful forest or nature-like imagery would speak to the audience, and properly pay tribute to the lost loved one.
You can include poems, quotations or passages from the Bible, when appropriate. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
