Although death is one of the things that are certain in life, most if not all people still find it difficult to deal with it when placed in this situation. Funeral poems do not need to be sad or tearful, as long as they reflect the character of the person you have lost.
The speaker has to be careful how to represent the loved one and should be aware they have the responsibility of keeping it light hearted. Whatever is the purpose for composing a funeral poem, it does not change the fact that these pieces of art were written due to the sadness of the person over losing a loved one. The rest of the eulogy can be based on wonderful memories and personal experiences, shared with the deceased.
Often mementos are kept for many years, framed for the family or left at the grave site as a reminder of the deceased. A Celebrant is trained to help individuals create and present a personalized funeral, memorial or celebration of life service. Writing on a computer can also help to accomplish what you are trying to do.
To be asked to deliver a memorial tribute is to be given the responsibility of assisting many. Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax.
