Writing a eulogy has many different themes and styles. Your eulogy style will depend on who is being remembered and the nature of their death. Giving a eulogy while coping with the loss of a loved one could be a very difficult challenge. However, giving a eulogy is also like giving a tribute to the person you lost.

It is easier to prepare your eulogy if you know what style and theme to follow.

There are different types of eulogy presentation and the most common ways are:

• Life History – this type of eulogy presentation talks about the person’s life, awards and achievements. You talk about their experiences, share anecdotes from their journal that remind you of the person.

• Shared Memories – these are your personal recollections. This could be easier to write but the hardest type of eulogy to present because this is based on your personal memories.

• Tribute – This type of eulogy focuses on the achievements and accomplishments of the person you lost.

• Legacy – this type of eulogy allows you to focus on the achievements or projects that person is leaving behind; it could be his family, his profession or a project that he has undertaken.

• Using Main Points – this is the most common way of making not just a eulogy, but any kind of speeches. You choose major points about the person’s life and use this to highlight your thoughts. Summarize the points you used in the entirety of your speech upon the conclusion of your eulogy.

Giving a toast during a funeral service is remembering the deceased in a brief and inspiring way.

No matter what type of theme or style you use, the purpose of giving a eulogy is sharing a person’s life in one single speech. It is important to touch upon the life and the after life of the deceased. Involve your audience emotionally. Don’t worry if you need to shed tears during your delivery, it is likely that everybody listening were crying too.
