A eulogy is a speech written to be read at funerals, to commemorate the memory of a departed one. It is not necessary that a eulogy be a detailed summary of how the deceased person spent his life, but rather it can concentrate on particular positive situations or circumstances.
Just sit down and write from your heart. Some people even write it themselves and some choose to just quote a William Shakespeare or some famous poem. At a hard time like this you really do need help to arrange funeral poems, don't try and do everything yourself.
Writing about a person who is no longer alive is very difficult and writing about their death is worse. This is a great way for those that are able to express their feelings on paper to do so and share those words to help heal the grief experienced by other family members as well. If more than one person is delivering a eulogy, coordinate with them so both approaches are used.
Again remember, the service and eulogy is held to honor the deceased and celebrate life. Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax.
