Although being asked to give a eulogy is truly an honor, if you're the one who's been chosen, you may find yourself feeling anxious about the task before you. Some opt to use these poems as part of their eulogies.
Services are really about love. 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. If you were very close to the person who died and you are expected to stand up in church or at the graveside to recite a poem, make sure that you have a supporter.
A poem comes from the heart, is a fitting tribute to the dead and the living to be remembered in time. You should refer to the deceased person by name, using no other terms. Death brings out the vulnerability of every person hence the simplest touch could be a source of strength for the grieving people.
As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better. Think about your life and what would you like most remembered.
