writing an obituary for the funeral

Remembering someone special in a personal way can be healing for everyone concerned, for a eulogy is a deeply personal way of saying goodbye. There may come a time in your life that you are asked to write a eulogy.

The audience for your funeral speech couldn't be more sympathetic and welcoming, and your deep feelings for the person who died will make the eulogy powerful. But now it's time to share their story with a congregation of friends and family and bring out their personality and charm and show it to others by way of the best poems for funerals that you can find. There are a variety of ways in which to use funeral music, you can have music playing while guests are entering prior to the service, you can set beautiful and personal music to a DVD of still pictures of the deceased, you can even take breaks throughout the service to play different pieces of funeral music.

When it's time to make the speech, no matter how you deliver it in the end, the important thing to remember is that it will leave the love in the hearts of all the people who attend the funeral. Memories are bound to come up during your conversation with the aggrieved, and no matter how repetitive it might become, just try to be patient in listening. Make sure that your resolution is short, especially if other people are planning on giving separate eulogies.

Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes. The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow.
