Advices For Offering Funeral Tributes

Funerals are meant to provide a proper send off to the dead, as well as provide an opportunity to the living to pay their last respects to the deceased. It also helps the friends and family of the deceased to accept the devastating loss and start the process of acceptance and healing. You can reflect the life of your loved one through funeral tributes at the memorial service.

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.

Try as much as possible to control your emotions. It is okay to show your emotions, as long as you can regain your composure and continue with your speech. Try and offer comfort to the family members of the deceased, even as you talk about their loved one.

Keep your speech short. This is because there would probably be other people waiting to give funeral tributes. You may include some bit of humor if the situation allows or if the deceased was a jovial person. Choose your words carefully and do not idolize the deceased.
