Afraid of Public speaking during the Eulogy Speech? 

Please do not consider this public speaking... Your job is to simply convey fond memories of a person you loved. People will be preoccupied with their own thoughts and will not be judging your words. During the speech take deep breathes and keep it slow. And you can look to the crowd for a familiar face to keep you on track.

Using Photos to Enhance Your Eulogy Speech

If you have photos of your loved one, look at them to help generate some thoughts and stories. This is great for developing stories for your eulogy speech.

A Eulogy Speech should focus on the life of the loved one 

Always concentrate on what your loved one did while they were alive and not their death in the Eulogy Speech. The eulogy speech should represent the person that passed and leave a nice lasting picture for all the people attending the funeral. Humor is also often used in a eulogy speech to help lighten the mood and to allows to reflect on the deceased in a happy light.
