Close family members and friends are also asked to speak on the subject, but may not know what to say. Knowing how to put together a public tribute for a funeral is a tough thing.
Just sit down and write from your heart. Grieving family and friends want others to remember their loved one's life and acknowledge them. You need to take this time to share your loss, to laugh and talk and share your thoughts and feelings with each other.
If you know the person very well and you would like to write it in your own words about that person, you could do that too. Poems can range in topics and styles, flowery or overly dramatic poetry is not the only option available. Even if they do not have anything in mind, it helps a lot on the part of a grieving person to know that he is surrounded by friends that care for his welfare.
Remember to prepare and organize your thoughts. The eulogist has a chance to ease the pain of others by providing them with a picture of the best things about that person, something they can hold on to in the difficult days to follow.
