Finding ways of expressing what you feel is sometimes very difficult for us or any romantic feeling at that. Funeral poems do not need to be sad or tearful, as long as they reflect the character of the person you have lost.
Funeral poems serve like an ode to the person who died. You want to know where or how he or she is. Not sure if any of us are right, we think we are, but whose standards are we going by.
You can easily have your favorite poem printed at the bottom of your program and you can even make your programs yourself on your computer. A poem you write for someone you know of might just bring the same reassuring message to other families who suffer through death. If the person enjoys the outdoors, maybe a poem with colorful forest or nature like imagery would speak to the audience.
Using poetry to help with grief, to express love or pain and to memorialize a friend or family member is very powerful and will be appreciated by others who have experienced a loss. What better opportunity could there be in life to appreciate the flowing beauty of poetic words than on a wedding day.
