In some cases, the deceased will have outlined the details of their own funeral many years prior to their death, of course this means that the family members are simply responsible for setting in motion this plan. Perhaps the best way to start approaching the task of writing a eulogy is to go back to the meaning of the word eulogy, which is derived from Greek words translating broadly as a good word.
While some families choose to have a viewing followed by a service at the funeral home, others will hold a funeral at a house of worship. They will work with family members to choose a method of burial including the choice of a casket. And if you feel that the grief may overtake you, ask a friend or a family member to stand in and read your eulogy.
It is difficult to say goodbye, to let go of a loved one, however you have an unlimited source of strength inside you to call upon. By doing a little research, you will have an idea of how your eulogy should flow. Finally, a eulogy needs to be written as a speech, in a form that is easy to deliver.
