Having the obituary already written and on file with your funeral provider, is not as difficult to do as you may think. Regardless if the eulogy is about a loved one, a co-worker, a friend, while you are grieving the last thing you desire to do is stand up in front of a group of people you may or may not know and bare your soul, emotions and your grief.
It is usually read to commemorate a dearly departed, to celebrate the life spent here on earth and the memories that go with him. If you have been asked to deliver a eulogy, appreciate the honor you have been given. You may feel that you are too sad or that you don't have the skills to write and deliver an appropriately moving tribute at a funeral or memorial service.
Free resources and free sample eulogy poems abound on the internet which can be used as inspiration or as templates for your very own. Typically, a eulogy runs around five to ten minutes in length. 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.
Keep in mind, when writing a eulogy, this type of speech should last anywhere from four to ten minutes. Draft your eulogy then try to edit and polish your work.
