poems for funeral program

An effective eulogy does not happen in just a blink of an eye. The key word is life, and you've been given the opportunity to celebrate a loved one's life in the individual way that made your friend unique.

Grieving family and friends want others to remember their loved one's life and acknowledge them. People who attend funerals must be aware of the proper etiquettes to be observed during this time. Having a memorial poem or poetry to look back upon can really be an emotional strengthener.

Adequate preparation must be made to gather biographical facts about the person you will be talking about. Poems ranging from heartfelt and sad to lighthearted and even funny have been written by amateur and professional poetry writers to put words to the feelings that are expressed after someone has died. Support in whatever form will be greatly appreciated by the bereaved and will weigh favorably on their acceptance of their situation.

If you find it hard to think of moving things to say, you may want to look at various sources for inspiration or short quotes to include in your speech. And it doesn't end after death.
