Whether you decide to deliver a serious speech or to concentrate on more humorous anecdotes, write down some notes to help you remember. Death is not an easy subject for anyone to discuss or cope with.
Grief is much easier to deal with when you have a faith filled hope that a deceased loved one is connected to God and you in a relationship that may have changed, but has not ended. Grieving family and friends want others to remember their loved one's life and acknowledge them. 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.
This is all very hard to do in the little amount of time you are actually giving the speech. Just like when our loved ones are at home with us and spend time in our living room. They can also be given as a story of a variety of portraits of important moments, snapshots of tender times, gently humorous anecdotes, and the like.
Make sure to jot down notes as you think of them before writing the full eulogy. There are many facets to planning a funeral.
