A lot of people read out poems at wakes and funerals. Death is never easy, there is nothing to cushion its blow or minimize the pain of it.
My feelings are that you should go with what feels right for you and what your departed loved one may have wanted. My feelings are that you should go with what feels right for you and what your departed loved one may have wanted. If giving the eulogy is overwhelming to you, remember that while it may seem daunting, there are tips that can help you manage your anxiety and help you provide a service to both the living in their moment of loss and to the one you have lost.
An obituary also contains a list of immediate survivors like children, grandchildren, spouse or siblings who were closely associated with the deceased. If you are a family member you might want to talk about his childhood. Look at your local bookstore for poetry books that have memorial or condolence poems included or search online for posted poetry.
Remember to prepare and organize your thoughts. Giving a eulogy is an honor.
