What You Need To Know About Offering A Tribute For A Memorial

When someone dies, their close family and relatives may want to remember them in the best possible light. They can do this by allowing people who know the deceased person to give funeral tributes at the memorial person. This will provide an opportunity to those who have interacted with the dead person to share their memories.

Be mentally prepared for the task. Even if you know the deceased person well, public speaking and your grief can make the task tougher. Take time to organize your thoughts and plan what to say. If possible, write down the speech as it will guide you along.

Include some of the major stepping stones and achievements that the deceased had. Share stories and memories of the deceased person that many people who have attended the memorial service can identify with. Research about the deceased so as to find out as much about them as possible before giving your speech.

Talk about the impact the deceased had on your life and in other people's lives. Highlight any life lessons you learned from them. Allow yourself to speak from your heart. Remember to introduce yourself and state how you are related to the deceased as other people may not know you.

Don't be afraid to cry or show some bit of emotion. However, do not let your emotions get so out of hand that you are unable to continue with your speech. Try and provide comfort to the deceased friend and family whether directly or indirectly through your speech.

Know how much time you have been allocated for the speech. Usually, more than one person will be allowed to give funeral tributes. Finishing your speech on time will help to keep the rest of the program on time.
