Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one. In some cases, the surviving family members will address all the funeral details when they make the arrangements.
Perhaps you're not accustomed to public speaking, and the mere thought of speaking in front of a crowd makes you nervous. To be given the task of delivering a eulogy is really an honor hence the responsibility of providing a clear and positive picture of the person you will be talking about is in order. If you were very close to the person who died and you are expected to stand up in church or at the graveside to recite a poem, make sure that you have a supporter.
Just knowing you have a backup speaker will probably be all you need to stay calm. 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. The service belongs to the family and is conducted as they wish.
As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better. Ultimately, the most important thing is to reflect the unique personality of the deceased.
