It's important to take steps to reduce additional stress and avoid health problems due to stress. Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one.
Whatever is the purpose for composing a funeral poem, it does not change the fact that these pieces of art were written due to the sadness of the person over losing a loved one. Grief is much easier to deal with when you have a faith filled hope that a deceased loved one is connected to God and you in a relationship that may have changed, but has not ended. Throughout your eulogy, you can take a moment to compose yourself, then carry on.
Having very definite ideas on what they want, they leave detailed instructions on how they wish to be honored. Eulogies can take a chronological approach, where the eulogist traces the person's life in the order in which it happened. If you have any doubt about a particular story you'd like to share, get the honest opinion of someone else who is close to the family.
It is a tribute, do it justice. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
