Often your emotions are so stirred up that it can be very difficult to come up with words of condolence for those that need them. When I lost my mother there was no way on earth that I could have written a shopping list never mind poems for funeral tributes.
The best source of funeral information, of course, can be found through funeral homes. It is at once something personal and a way to involve all of those present in remembering the good things about the life of the person who has passed on. Some funeral homes are small, family run establishments.
Give them a copy of your eulogy. A gentle, sincere hug or a shoulder to cry on is what a bereaved person needs to feel to know that he is not alone in his grief. You'll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, your gift will live on in the hearts of the deceased's family and friends.
Speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy. A little time and preparation in the writing stage can make a huge difference in the impact of your delivery and can help you and your friends and family in their time of need.
