Being asked to talk at a funeral is never going to be easy, especially if you have been asked because of your proximity to the deceased. While a funeral is always a sad occasion, finding the right things to say can help turn it into a celebration of a well-loved person and the happy times you all had together. Many people choose to read poems for funerals along with a few carefully chosen words, or using the right verses as inspiration for what they want to say.

Books

There are entire anthologies of funerary themed poems, but sometimes you can find less well known and meaningful pieces by looking at the favourite books of the person you are honouring. If you know the person in question had a favourite author or a book they particularly loved, selecting a few passages or a poem to illustrate your speech can help bring happy memories of the defunct to the audience at the funeral.

Songs

Sometimes the lyrics of a favourite song or an especially meaningful one can be a great way of finishing a funeral speech. It is not strictly necessary to actually choose something that directly relates to death or funerals, many people choose things ranging from love songs to seemingly cheerful pieces that are about hope and not death. A few select words can bring the personality of the deceased right in front of your audience's eyes and help bring their best memories of the deceased into the room.

Choosing the Right Funeral Poem

While it's true that a funeral is a sombre occasion, it is also a moment to celebrate the life of the person who has gone and as such you shouldn't restrict yourself to mourning verses. Think of how the person you are speaking off would like to be remembered, and choose something fitting. You can also find inspiration on poems about love and family, or even honour and duty when appropriate.

Remember that if you have been asked to speak at a funeral is because whoever took that decision knew you would be the best person to talk about the deceased and make it know how important that person was for you and those present at the funeral, so just be yourself and honour the deceased in your own personal way. 葬儀 町田
