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.

The purpose of a funeral procession (cortège) is to allow family and friends the opportunity to show respect to the deceased. The word cortège literally means “to pay honor.”

As cities grow and populations increase, funeral processions are becoming less common. Instead, funeral attendees are often instructed to obey all traffic laws and proceed to the cemetery in an orderly fashion.

In smaller communities where circumstances allow, a funeral procession gives community members the opportunity to show respect by taking a moment out of their busy day to slow down or pull over as someone’s loved one takes their final earthly journey. A well-lived life that has come to an end is of value and deserves our respect and reverence.

If you have questions concerning funeral processions in our area, please contact us at (208) 852-0533.

Grief is Love With Nowhere to Go

Grief isn’t something to ‘get over.’
It’s the echo of love that still lingers.

Some days it feels heavy, like a storm
Other days it’s a quiet whisper in the heart.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means carrying their memory forward.

Be gentle with yourself.
Grief is love’s way of saying, “They mattered. They still do.”

You’re not alone in this journey.

"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." 🇺🇸
