Not everyone is going to feel the same way about the loved on that you have lost so the poems may seem irrelevant to them. Our society is one that has long incorporated ceremony into important events.
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. The family members must simply put into effect those details that have previously been decided. If your family is part of a religious community and the deceased would have wanted a religious service then you can look to your minister, rabbi, or priest to help guide you through making arrangements.
Usually it is a family member or close friend who is asked to deliver it. Using poetry to help with grief, to express love or pain and to memorialize a friend or family member is very powerful and will be appreciated by others who have experienced a loss. Support in whatever form will be greatly appreciated by the bereaved and will weigh favorably on their acceptance of their situation.
Funeral services are meant to celebrate the lives of lost love ones. Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes.
