If you're looking for a poem to read at a funeral there are certain things you should be aware of first. It is considered a great honor to be asked to write a eulogy and while the whole purpose of an eulogy is to speak from the heart while commemorating the person who has passed away, there are a few things to remember to help you along with writing an eulogy.
The person delivering the eulogy must show the reasons why the deceased is well loved and will be missed by the people around him. General poems can be read during the eulogy by the person performing the funeral. To do all this, while being coherent enough to express how deeply departed one has touched your soul and doing justice to his or her memory is a difficult task indeed.
Pulling together a selection of memories and comments about those things can be a remarkable way to begin to deal with your own grief. You will honor their life and their memory. A marvelous life that is now celebrated forever.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to reflect the unique personality of the deceased. Practice delivering your eulogy in front of a mirror or a friend in order that you can see if improvements or additional editing have to be made.
