A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate. Generally, people who are requested to deliver eulogies are those people who are considered to know best the deceased person.
Some people opt for giving a serious speech about accomplishments achieved by the deceased in their lifetime, while others can decide to take on a more humorous tone remembering the fun times, the good memories and the laughter shared. Seeing a life celebrated and hearing words of sympathy and celebration from others often helps them move through their own grief journey. There are towns in which every family visits the neighborhood funeral home at one time or another.
Writing a eulogy is harder when you don't know how. The service belongs to the family and is conducted as they wish. Many families and friends choose to write their own poems or essays about the deceased to have read at memorial services or posted on online memorial sites.
Writing a eulogy should not be taken lightly. Think about your life and what would you like most remembered.
