Writing eulogy poems usually do not follow a certain rigid format but a few sensible tips would be of great help. Finding reputable and comprehensive funeral information can make the process at least bearable and organized.
Perhaps you're not accustomed to public speaking, and the mere thought of speaking in front of a crowd makes you nervous. Since a death is always associated with a painful loss, poems should be in an uplifting and inspirational tone. You want to know where or how he or she is.
I was asked by a couple of family members if I had given any thought to having someone by my side during the reading of my funeral poems for mom, to be quite honest, I didn't have a clue why I would need anyone there. 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. Humor in good taste relieves stress and anxiety, and it's almost certain to be welcomed by the funeral guests.
Think about your life and what would you like most remembered. Writing a eulogy should not be taken lightly.
