Regardless if the eulogy is about a loved one, a co-worker, a friend, while you are grieving the last thing you desire to do is stand up in front of a group of people you may or may not know and bare your soul, emotions and your grief. Funeral or memorial services are also a means to share in the pain and express love for the deceased in order to heal.
If loved ones are left to make the decisions then choices need to be made during an already stressful and exhausting period of time. Even so, it does not have to be looked upon as a daunting task. It will detail whether the deceased was married, had children and who survives them.
This may include a request for a certain person to perform the service, the choosing of particular flowers, and even the selection of funeral music. If the deceased was a practical joker or light-hearted individual, maybe a poem that incorporates a bit of humor would remind their family of what a happy spirit that individual was. A marvelous life that is now celebrated forever.
And it doesn't end after death. Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life.
