How To Write A Eulogy For a Deceased Loved One

How To Write A Eulogy For a Deceased Loved One

Writing a eulogy can be difficult especially when one has to confront a loved one's passing in order to do so. Generally, people who are requested to deliver eulogies are Family and Friends who know the deceased best and have shared a deeply personal bond. Therefore, personal experiences are expected to be recollected and reminisced with those present at the funeral. There is no hard and fast rule to writing a eulogy, however, many find writing eulogies a painful experience as they bring back memories of the deceased person when he or she was alive.

In writing a eulogy one can reflect on how the deceased have inspired and helped others when they were alive. Some people come up with serious speeches honoring the deceased person while others would rather show the humorous side. A recommended eulogy is a combination of both as death should not be a reason to be sad but a celebration of a life well-lived. Appropriate humorous anecdotes may be included in the eulogy to lighten up the feeling of the audience.

Inspiration and Support may be found in various sources such as friends, family and even certain literature and writings.

But Most importantly, speak from the heart so that your sincerity will be reflected in your eulogy. Your love for the deceased person must be felt by the people who are listening to your eulogy speech.
