Writing a Eulogy
Sunday, March 1st, 2009A funeral resolution is nothing more than a eulogy speech.
When it comes time to writing a eulogy there are some tips that you can follow that will help make it a bit easier. Eulogies can be very difficult to write and even more difficult to deliver. It is important that you understand that nobody expects you to be a hero. These are difficult times for everyone involved.
Here are 3 things to help you write a eulogy:
1. Reflect: reflect on the life of the deceased. Let your mind roam free with all the memories that flow into your thoughts. Thinks about the good times and the bad. What memories make you smile? Which ones make you cry? It is okay to feel emotional during this step. Don’t fight it. This will really allow you to get into tune with your thoughts and feelings.
2. Take notes: when you feel that your thoughts are really flowing, then begin jotting down notes. What comes to mind when you think of this person? What were their strengths? How did they make people feel? Who were they in the community?
3. Write an outline: after you relect and take notes, then it is time for you to draft an outline of the eulogy.
