Eulogy Speeches, Poems and Quotes

There are many things you want to consider when writing in a card, talking with the bereaved or writing the eulogy:

* Was the person a character, a jolly or fun person?

* Were they more of a reserved and quiet person who would not have liked a long service, if a service at all? Remember the funeral or memorial service is often thought as a ritual for the living to obtain closure from this death.

* Should you include funny stories about the loved one?

* Did they have a special song, poem or quote that they especially liked?

* What about the people who are grieving? Was the person who has passed on, their spouse, child, mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend? You want to say something appropriate in memory of this person and for the bereaved to feel some comfort from your words.

* Was it a sudden death, an act of violence, suicide, or a long and lingering illness that took this person away? These are all things that should be considered when conveying your sentiments.
