This advice and more can be found in Finding Your Voice:
Bereavement experts tell us a meaningful funeral helps us to deal with the loss of a loved one. It helps us face the reality of the death and provides a focus that enables us to express our united grief. Western society tends to be embarrassed about displays of grief. Grieving is a natural part of life and the funeral ritual allows us the opportunity to cry and vent our anguish. The eulogy is pivotal in the funeral ceremony; it is a testimony to the person who is loved and mourned by the gathering of family and friends.
