what to write in funeral cards

Speech writing can be daunting at the best of times, but when you are in the midst of grieving process, it can be extremely difficult to compose yourself enough to write a eulogy worthy of your loved one. While your loved one was alive you never needed to dig down deep to explain to people just what they were like.

When you are grieving, it is normal that your thoughts are about death, but remember it is about celebrating a life lived as well. Planning a funeral service completely depends on the particular cultural and religious preferences of the deceased and their family. Some funeral homes are small, family run establishments.

People should be able to supply you with information and their own personal experiences, suitable for a eulogy. Focus your writings on what the deceased did during their lifetimes, and not on the sadness of their death. If the deceased was a practical joker or light-hearted individual, maybe a poem that incorporates a bit of humor would remind their family of what a happy spirit that individual was.

Now, all you have to do is to find a practical way, using poems for the deceased, to remember that as you go through your daily life. No one will be timing you, with a stopwatch, so take your time.
