I Am Standing Upon the Seashore
- Henry Van D**e

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is dying…

Delivering a eulogy at a funeral or memorial service is both an honor and a responsibility. Today we’re providing some tips and ideas to consider.

A proper eulogy should:
▪️Honor the deceased
▪️Reflect the deceased’s character and values
▪️Provide comfort and meaning to those in mourning

Eulogies usually consist of:
▪️A brief introduction and your relationship to the deceased
▪️Two or three meaningful stories, traits, or examples
▪️A closing reflection, lesson, or farewell

The length guideline of a eulogy is generally five to seven minutes. Unless instructed otherwise by the family, shorter is usually better.

A eulogy is not a reading of the obituary, nor is it intended to be a full biography.

When selecting content, consider the following:
▪️Warmth and gentle humor are acceptable if natural and respectful
▪️Make it personal - describe what the deceased meant to you
▪️Avoid negativity, controversy, or unresolved family dynamics

Losing your composure briefly is human - it is appropriate to have emotions arise.

When writing a eulogy, consider the following tips:
▪️Write the eulogy in full, even if you plan to speak naturally
▪️Practice aloud several times
▪️Bring a physical copy printed in a large font - do not rely solely on memory

When delivering a eulogy, consider the following tips:
▪️Speak slightly slower than normal
▪️Pause between thoughts
▪️Breathe intentionally if emotions surge - silence is acceptable and the audience will wait

Remember that the family and/or the audience is not judging your speaking ability. Instead, they are seeking recognition of the person they loved, validation of their grief, and a moment of shared remembrance.

If you have questions concerning the preparation of a eulogy, please contact us at (701) 252-5701.

"We identify the flag with almost everything we hold dear on earth, peace, security, liberty, our family, our friends, our home… but when we look at our flag and behold it emblazoned with all our rights we must remember that it is equally a symbol of our duties. Every glory that we associate with it is the result of duty done." 🇺🇸

The practice of draping a casket in the American flag is a beautiful tradition symbolizing the deceased’s patriotism and love of country.

Military personnel are provided a flag free of charge from the Veterans Administration.

We respect and honor our nation's heroes. Please visit our website for more information on Veterans services.

Today marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

D-Day was the name given to the June 6, 1944, invasion of the beaches at Normandy in northern France by troops from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries during World War II. The amphibious assault—codenamed Operation Overlord—landed some 156,000 Allied soldiers on the beaches of Normandy.

Despite their success, over 4,000 Allied troops were killed by German soldiers defending the beaches. At the time, the D-Day invasion was the largest naval, air, and land operation in history.
