Few Tips For A Tribute For A Funeral

Funerals are not just meant for the dead but for the living as well. They provide an opportunity for the living to memorialize their loved one as well as to accept the fact that he is forever gone from their midst. Giving an opportunity for close family and friends to pay funeral tributes is a good way of honoring their loved one.

If you have been asked to give a speech, take time to prepare. This will help you know what to say and what to leave out. It will also help you prepare psychologically to honor the deceased person. You can opt to write down your main thoughts so as to avoid loosing your train of thought when giving your speech.

Think through your memories of the person. Highlight any memories that you can comfortably share with other people. Preferably, it should be something that other people in the service can be able to identify with. Talking to other people who were close to the deceased will give you great points to talk about.

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 the time limitations that you have. Find out how many minutes you have to talk. This is because there are usually many other people who also want to give funeral tributes too. Your speech should be short enough to effectively pass across the message you want.
