Losing a family member or close friend can be devastating and can have a lasting effect on all who knew the person who has passed. By celebrating the person s life, you are exposing your soul and your emotions to family members and strangers alike.
A good eulogy is less a personal statement of your feelings about the person than a way to draw the mourners present together to share in recalling and celebrating the life that has been lost. It is usually read to commemorate a dearly departed, to celebrate the life spent here on earth and the memories that go with him. Following or in some cases, prior to a service is the burial of the deceased.
You should confer with the deceased person s other family members so that you can verify as to the exact age, important dates and places, and other personal data that you need to include in the eulogy. Also, you can take assistance from our sample obituary formats for writing an obituary through our newletter. Typically, a eulogy runs around five to ten minutes in length.
It is important that you avoid any statements or references that portray the deceased in a negative manner. If you are gifted with the blessing and talent of writing poetry for the dead, share it.
