If you ‘have’ to or if you ‘want’ to make a eulogy speech so as to express your inner feelings you have, in public, for your near and dear one who has just left the world, then read this article.

It is very much understandable that such a time is really very tough to compose a eulogy speech or maybe anything else. It is a hard time and you find it difficult to focus as you are distressed. But it is fine. Here are a few simple and easy tips which can help you write a nice eulogy speech:

Adding a story or a communication that you have shared with the deceased is one of the best element to put in the eulogy speech. It can be any, a funny or a heart-wrenching one. You can do with one of each type also. But it is great to have a single story that has both the elements. It is not mandatory for you to tell only one story.

You can start your eulogy with an incident re-counting how you interacted with your loved one. You can even talk about an incidence that you will remember for a lifetime of them that you had when you were a child. Or you can tell about an important lesson of life that you have learnt from them and how helpful it has been in your journey.

One of the benefits of adding a story in your eulogy speech is that since you have lived that moment there is no need for you to memorize and read the words. You have a vivid memory of it. Since you have been through that moment, all you need to do is to make a rough outline of the incident or make brief bullet points in your notes. Then during the speech you can begin about it by saying anything that briefly reminds you of the anecdote you wish to share.

There are some other things too that you need to remember while composing a eulogy speech. But to assist you while you get started and to eradicate the pressure of creating a lovely and a great tribute to your loved one, the story will be an excellent idea.
