A funeral speech is possibly the most important speech that you have ever written. Having the obituary already written and on file with your funeral provider, is not as difficult to do as you may think.
As much as the poem is written as a tribute to the deceased, it should also be considered as a reassurance to the living. Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. A eulogy is designed to memorialize and celebrate the good things in the person's life.
Try to avoid talking about the details of the death, and focus instead on the life of the deceased. Finally, a eulogy needs to be written as a speech, in a form that is easy to deliver. Nonverbal actions are equally important during funerals.
Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy. And it doesn't end after death.
