funeral for a friend

Often your emotions are so stirred up that it can be very difficult to come up with words of condolence for those that need them. 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.

Memorial service poems can actually put everyone more at ease during a funeral or memorial service. The best services mix memories, comfort and encouragement. You won't be expected to express the thoughts and feelings of everyone present, nor to give a detailed account of the life of the deceased.

Your eulogy can then be written on behalf of that group of the mourners, and feature just their recollections and feelings about the deceased. If you are a coworker, you can focus on work-related memories and humorous anecdotes. Do not try to embellish your story with half truths or lies.

Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones. Think about your life and what would you like most remembered.
