Many others actually make their own funeral arrangements prior to their death including all of the details most important to them. The best way to start is to collect all the necessary biographical information about the person who has passed away and this can be done with a help of other family members, friends, co-workers.
In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. It need not only be a summation of the public facts, but a glimpse of the uniqueness, when combined with those facts, created a personality. Sometime you find yourself not saying anything at all and that can be even worse than saying the wrong thing.
Give them a copy of your eulogy. Nonverbal actions are equally important during funerals. If you were best friends since high school or college, then talk about the good times you had and how he helped you during those years.
Grief is not something we can simply set aside. If you are gifted with the blessing and talent of writing poetry for the dead, share it.
