Our society is one that has long incorporated ceremony into important events. Planning the funeral of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things you encounter in this lifetime.
One detail that often escapes even the most thorough planner is to write an obituary. In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. Funeral homes have the experience and compassion to walk you through the funeral arrangements, helping you to decide on details such as service, burial, flowers, music, and other personal touches that will add to the funeral services.
It is wise to develop a theme to give focus on your speech. You'll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, your gift will live on in the hearts of the deceased's family and friends. If you start to break down, take a moment, compose yourself and continue with the speech.
The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow. It is important that you avoid any statements or references that portray the deceased in a negative manner.
