An effective eulogy does not happen in just a blink of an eye. Whether you decide to deliver a serious speech or to concentrate on more humorous anecdotes, write down some notes to help you remember.
My feelings are that you should go with what feels right for you and what your departed loved one may have wanted. Grieving family and friends want others to remember their loved one's life and acknowledge them. An obituary can be as basic as containing only public facts about a person's life like their birth, family tree, their death.
Take your time, take several deep breaths before you start reading. During funerals, it is suggested that you ask the bereaved if you can do anything to help them. If it helps, concentrate on one person in the audience that you know and love and speak to them.
Remember to prepare and organize your thoughts. It is not something that can be written quickly.
