The Best Funeral Poems and Eulogy
Verses
By Thomas Alan Lampsen
Funeral poems are common to memorial ceremonies. People
opt to express their sentiments with funeral verses
because these eulogy poems have a unique ability to
communicate complex emotions in an eloquent, timeless
and respectful manner. A wonderful memorial service is a
remarkably powerful way to aid in bereavement and poetry
can be a perfect way to elevate a ceremony.
Poetry is said to come from the soul and to speak
directly to it. Reading and sharing poems can have a
very cathartic impact of grieving families and loved
ones, offering comfort and hope during very difficult
times. More so than almost any other form of
communication, poetry seems to have a way of speaking
directly to the heart.
Although writing funeral poems can also be a cathartic
activity for those suffering through the emotional
trauma of dealing with a loved one's death, memorial
services are often best served by talented, experienced
poets. These artists have developed a remarkable skill
for conveying our complex stew of emotions in an
evocative and respectful manner. Even the most heartfelt
efforts of an amateur poet is unlikely to rival that of
a trained professional. This does not mean that original
poetry should not be part of a ceremony, only that it
should be balanced with the inclusion of published or
well-recognized verse.
The best funeral poems are those that focus more on the
life and importance of the deceased than on their actual
passing. Although funerals are a time of mourning, they
are also a very good way to celebrate life while
affirming our hopes and faith. Proper funeral etiquette
should point one toward finding an uplifting selection
that does not dwell on grief at the expense of joy.
If you are looking for funeral poems, you may want to
begin your search by reading a handful of classic verses
others have found useful and appropriate. It may seem
like an insurmountable challenge, but we all have a way
of rising to the occasion during these difficult times.
It is possible to discover eulogy poems that will aid in
creating a wonderful memorial service.
