funeral etiquette thank you notes - take time to reflect

You miss your loved one who is no longer with you. 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.

We learn to cope with the situation at least temporarily. Even so, it does not have to be looked upon as a daunting task. At a hard time like this you really do need help to arrange funeral poems, don't try and do everything yourself.

It is wise to develop a theme to give focus on your speech. If you attended school with the deceased, you might want to focus on your school days. They have no family minister and would prefer a celebration of the life lived rather than a sermon.

Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes. It is a chance to help others begin the transition to a life after the person's passing.
