The key word is life, and you've been given the opportunity to celebrate a loved one's life in the individual way that made your friend unique. Perhaps the best way to start approaching the task of writing a eulogy is to go back to the meaning of the word eulogy, which is derived from Greek words translating broadly as a good word.
Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. You could look upon a eulogy as a funeral oration or tribute, but I rather like the idea of seeing as an opportunity to put in a good word for the loved one being honored. The rest of the eulogy can be based on wonderful memories and personal experiences, shared with the deceased.
And because the funeral home is so ingrained in the landscape of the town, you will be met with a familiar face, people who know you and your family. If you are a coworker, you can focus on work-related memories and humorous anecdotes. Typically, a eulogy runs around five to ten minutes in length.
Remember to prepare and organize your thoughts. Grieving is normal as it forms part of our complex emotions as human beings.
