writing an obituary for the funeral

Part of life is death, and unfortunately in our lifetime we will all be faced with the death of a loved one. Presenting a eulogy for a loved one could be the saddest thing and the most difficult public speaking endeavor you could ever experience.

Some of the poems will make you and others around you cry because you can see them in each word or verse, this is also good as it helps with the grieving and healing process. They will work with family members to choose a method of burial including the choice of a casket. Many short poems exemplifies the theme of reassurance to the living that death is not the cessation of life but a continuation.

But ensure it is not over whelming because it might upset the bereaving family. In other cases, it is necessary for the family to arrange funeral burial services on their own. To add a poem to your eulogy or condolence letter, first you must consider who the person was and what they would have appreciated or enjoyed read.

While overwhelming, it does not need to be confusing. And it doesn't end after death.
