Put your thoughts into some kind of free verse format, a column of lines, roughly the same length, which may rhyme but don't need to. Most of the greatest poets were not recognized for their work until they had long been laid to rest.
It can be difficult for someone who is not a literary expert to come up with something romantic and poetic themselves, but what you need to say is likely to have already been written for you by another poet. Some of the best funeral poems only need to be read once for you to see your loved one in them, don't try to read too much into any one poem, you may just be forcing the verse into how others saw the deceased, the funeral poems should feel natural. An important factor, be truthful and sincere, speak from your heart.
Free resources and free sample eulogy poems abound on the internet which can be used as inspiration or as templates for your very own. Poems can also be artfully placed on a line of gift merchandise including mugs and artwork suitable for framing. To the poet, he should have an aim with his poem, know where he wants to take his reader.
It can be framed, written in a card, spoken over the phone, recited one to one or even emailed if time is not on your side. A lovely memento to keep over the years is a poem.
