dark funeral

A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate. When I lost my mother there was no way on earth that I could have written a shopping list never mind poems for funeral tributes.

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. You are taking the time and expressing and sharing the love that you felt for that person. There are a variety of ways in which to use funeral music, you can have music playing while guests are entering prior to the service, you can set beautiful and personal music to a DVD of still pictures of the deceased, you can even take breaks throughout the service to play different pieces of funeral music.

Celebrants are becoming more and more popular. They become a reflection of ancestors lives for generations to come. By doing a little research, you will have an idea of how your eulogy should flow.

It is a tribute, do it justice. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
