Generally, people who are requested to deliver eulogies are those people who are considered to know best the deceased person. When being presented with the task of speaking a eulogy, the thought immediately is followed with an irrational fear of not been seen giving them a fit and proper speech.
The most common and sincere way of extending your sympathy is to say I am sorry to the bereaved for his loss. The majority of those who are asked to write a eulogy have a great deal of knowledge about the people they will be honoring. You will undoubtedly find clues as to the type of music the deceased most enjoyed and even particular albums, tapes, and CDs by specific artists.
Once you are done with the writing, practice a few times in front of a family member, a friend, even a mirror will suffice. If you are asked to speak at a memorial or funeral service and are having a difficult time writing down how this loss has made you or the family feel, consider including a poem in your tribute. Make sure that your resolution is short, especially if other people are planning on giving separate eulogies.
Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work. It takes time to grow in love, faith and hope.
