Having the obituary already written and on file with your funeral provider, is not as difficult to do as you may think. A lot of people choose to read passages from the Bible rather than a poem because they think that this is more appropriate.
You could look upon a eulogy as a funeral oration or tribute, but I rather like the idea of seeing as an opportunity to put in a good word for the loved one being honored. Poems can be the perfect way to get across what you want to say. Many people are now choosing a private site such as a country club, university, or a relative's garden.
Rehearse your eulogy with a family member or a friend to get their feedback, so you can edit if it is necessary. Some people actually find it easier to stick to a theme, during the writing process, making it a bit easier for the words to flow. If you are a family member you might want to talk about his childhood.
Writing a eulogy should not be taken lightly. I know some of what you are feeling right now which is why I wrote these articles.
