funeral flowers

Death is not an easy subject for anyone to discuss or cope with. A eulogy poem is a special form of prose written to offer comfort to the bereaved.

Some of the best funeral poems only need to be read once for you to see your loved one in them, don't try to read too much into any one poem, you may just be forcing the verse into how others saw the deceased, the funeral poems should feel natural. It is usually read to commemorate a dearly departed, to celebrate the life spent here on earth and the memories that go with him. Memorial poems are becoming more and more popular to remember a deceased friend some time later after losing a loved one.

Having very definite ideas on what they want, they leave detailed instructions on how they wish to be honored. They have no family minister and would prefer a celebration of the life lived rather than a sermon. In the spirit of putting in a good word for the deceased, a eulogy will rarely dwell on any less attractive side of a person's life - a funeral is a time for positive thoughts, forgiveness and perhaps a little regret at lost opportunities; but traditionally it is not a time for accusations and controversy when the person is not in a position to come to his or her own defense.

Above all, remember to breathe. Think about your life and what would you like most remembered.
