A funeral may often be just as elaborately planned as a wedding. The level of emotion and grief in conjunction with the enormous details upon which to be decided can result in even greater turmoil.
As much as the poem is written as a tribute to the deceased, it should also be considered as a reassurance to the living. This is a sad time for all but when people come together to help each other in times of need, it will bring you all closer together and ease the stress on everyone. Just having someone else on the stand by will put your mind at ease.
It is difficult to say goodbye, to let go of a loved one, however you have an unlimited source of strength inside you to call upon. In the spirit of putting in a good word for the deceased, a eulogy will rarely dwell on any less attractive side of a person's life - a funeral is a time for positive thoughts, forgiveness and perhaps a little regret at lost opportunities; but traditionally it is not a time for accusations and controversy when the person is not in a position to come to his or her own defense. You should refer to the deceased person by name, using no other terms.
Be sure, though, not to include anything that may offend or embarrass. Your relationship with your deceased loved ones did not begin and stop overnight.
