dark funeral

An obituary can be a very personal look at a life. A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate.

Like all particulars of the funeral the music should reflect the individual personality of the deceased. Services are really about love. It doesn't sound easy, but you can do it.

If several people talk about the deceased this area becomes even more poignant. Just like when our loved ones are at home with us and spend time in our living room. A feature of successful eulogies is that they will include comment on the positive impact the person had on other people along the way, especially on the speaker and others present at the funeral.

I know some of what you are feeling right now which is why I wrote these articles. As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better.
