Our society is one that has long incorporated ceremony into important events. Long funeral poems are very difficult to get through without plenty of support and practice and choose the poems you want, not what everyone else thinks you should read.
Whatever is the purpose for composing a funeral poem, it does not change the fact that these pieces of art were written due to the sadness of the person over losing a loved one. If you have been asked to deliver a eulogy, appreciate the honor you have been given. Choose funeral poems which aren't too long, just in case you can't finish them.
If you find meaning in a poem, reading, or quote that reminds you of your loved one, consider sharing it in your eulogy. It is most important to make the obituary personal by reflecting the real person. 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.
Above all, remember to breathe. Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy.
