tributes at funerals

When you are looking for a few examples of tributes given at funerals, you should keep in mind the person who died and the life he or she led. Tributes are a wonderful way to memorialize someone you loved who had died, but be careful not to go overboard.

Keep the Tributes Simple

Many people have a hard time attending a funeral, so keep this in mind when planning the tribute. Some key items to include in your tribute should be:

  • A special or favorite song
  • Poems related to grief
  • Stories and tales about this person's life, including childhood, marriage and family.
  • A slide show or video/DVD presentation
  • Soft instrumental music
  • A journal or booklet with a short history of the person's life
  • A thoughtful and well-researched eulogy
  • Prayer cards
  • Candles
  • Poems designed to console others

Tributes should not take more time than what is really needed. It all depends on who has died and how many people are in attendance. It is best to keep tributes short and to the point, and remember to bring extra boxes of tissues. You may also want to include friends and members of the deceased person's family to contribute or participate in the tribute.
