It’s of no use to bring negative stuff about somebody who died. You will look bad in front of everybody. Try to bring up happy times and good stuff about the person!
Yeah; was quite a stupid thing to think actually.
Like, memories I have of me and him, his personality(he was calm, easy-going and friendly), etc….?
speak to what you loved best about him, the happy times, a special memory or two you are willing to share…if there was a certain argument you had or rivalry that involved sports that you can refer to in a loving way with a bit of humor that would be good too.
Sorry to hear of your loss.

What do you mean? Like, an argument/disagreement, but of a joking kind?
Like, no it’s not! Yes it is! But at the end of it, it’s not serious, it’s just a mess around?
Hmm, I don’t know how to explain it. XD
What about if I mentioned something like “I’m happy he’s with his dad now though” or would that seem too… not right?
I don’t know anything about this kind of thing. :(
let’s see…My brother passed away earlier this year, his son gave the eulogy. My brother was a red sox baseball fan and my nephew liked the rival team the yankees and it lead to some pretty funny and intense moments between them (not negative…all humor) It provided a warm feeling to remember my brother that way and it was done with love.
:D I see.
Thanks so much for your help people, I really appreciate it! :D
Thanks…!
oh yes, and my nephew did mention the fact that his dad would be with loved ones gone before him (mother, father, etc) and it’s a comfort to know that they were there to greet him and he will always be keeping a watchful over all of us…
whatever you decide, remember he will be standing by you offering his love and support…
I wish you strength and peace.
Thanks :D
Yes, I really believe my dad will be there with me, we didn’t get on much and I think he might not have known without being in doubt, but he will hear how I actually felt beneath the arguments etc… :D
Because he’s being cremated, can I put anything in his coffin? I was going to put a photo of me and my sister of when he took us to Disney Land Paris because I thought something like that should be with him (in a way), but can I still do that do you know?
Most certainly.
IMHO…this was your father and you are entitled to grieve and express your love for your dad any way you see fit (respectfully of course)
So, can I put that in the coffin before he is cremated?
yes, if you want it to be with him duringthe cremation…let the funeral director know of your wishes.
:D Ok
Thank you again for your help, it’s helped me a lot!
Right now I’m trying to write some lyrics to my dad and then base the eulogy on them, avoiding the negativity in there. I usually find that I write better if I base it on lyrics for some reason. :S
Maybe it’s because lyrics come from the heart and are a drawing of your feelings… I don’t know. XD
Well anyway, I really appreciate your help. Thanks people. :D
Try to look intot he positive things that the person left on this world. I believe most people on this world are meant to do good, and some are just misunderstood.
