Readings are a very important part of the funeral. You can include poems, quotes, bible readings, and personal stories in the funeral. Funeral Eulogy Writing a eulogy is always a really nice way to remember your child. Remember the sweet moments and write them down. Talk about the good times in their short little life (no matter how brief), you can even talk about the dreams you had for them, and what you will miss and enjoyed about your child. If they were a little older, you will be able to talk about who they were, what they enjoyed to do, funny stories, sweet moments, and anything else that speaks of their life. Eulogy Tips: *Keep it positive, not focusing on the sad things that led to their death. Focus on the happy times and moments. *Remember songs your child enjoyed, little toys and games they liked, how they interacted with you and others, etc. *It's okay to reflect on what you will miss and what you had dreamed they would do and who they would be. *Eulogy should be about 5 minutes. But, you can make it as long or short as you like. *Eulogy should be written by mom or dad if possible. You knew your baby/child best and there is no one better to write about their life. You should consider however having someone else read this for you at the funeral if you think this would be difficult to read. |
