A lot of people read out poems at wakes and funerals. Not everyone is going to feel the same way about the loved on that you have lost so the poems may seem irrelevant to them.
I didn't manage to write my own poem but what I did find were some very fitting poems for funeral tributes in a book that I found after a long search through the internet. In case that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, practice in front of a mirror. Throughout your eulogy, you can take a moment to compose yourself, then carry on.
Look for a focal point or make eye contact with someone who can provide that extra strength you need. Noteworthy personal habits and a little humor are usually mixed in with mention of special accomplishments and attractive personality characteristics. If you were best friends since high school or college, then talk about the good times you had and how he helped you during those years.
It is important that you avoid any statements or references that portray the deceased in a negative manner. To help you get started review the sample obituaries in our newsletter to help you.
