Creating A Eulogy
Eulogy refers to a good bye tribute addressed towards a deceased member during a funeral or a memorial service. It is used to fondly remember a loved one after they have passed away. An Eulogy includes the following
- Some background about the person who has passed away.
- Other details like family, friends, work etc.
- Significant memoires of the person who has passed away
- Some reading that pertains with an aspect of the deceased’s life history. Scriptures, anecdotes, work of the deceased person, etc.
Most importantly a Eulogy is delivered from the heart. Writing a Eulogy or delivering a Eulogy is a matter of pride. The person picked to do that is usually the person who was closest to the deceased and has spent considerable time knowing that person and sharing a lot of thoughts. It is an opportunity to bring the person back to life in the form of memories in the minds of the audience present for the funeral. As the person speaks, everyone remembers the deceased person for what he was and how he shaped the life of those around him.
Generally the Eulogy will also reflect the deliverer’s feelings and his loss connecting the audience with the deceased as well as with the deliverer. It must be remembered that Eulogy should deal only with happy and important memories and trivial issues should not be referred to. It can include details like how they met, to the things they shared in common. The deliverer may also include the reason the person was known most for and the reason for which he or she will be missed.
Any deliverer of a Eulogy generally gathers important information about the person by talking to the family members, co workers, neighbors and friends. A Eulogy can also include information like
- Date of birth.
- Close relationships and family
- Education and career history.
- Interests and hobbies
- Places of residence
- Other accomplishments
Contrary to popular belief, writing and delivering a Eulogy requires courage. Getting the facts right and presenting it in a beautiful and touching manner can help the bereaving members to come to terms with their loss.
