Helping

If someone you know is newly widowed, and you are close friends, offer to lend support at the funeral. Helping them maintain composure and get through the service, is a beautiful way to celebrate your friendship. Offer to see to the disposal of flowers, gathering up cards and guestbook.

Children and Viewing

Very young children should not be present at the viewing. They are often unable to understand what has happened. The last thing anyone wants to cope with, is the sight and sound of a screaming, frightened child.

Giving a Eulogy

Make certain you feel comfortable giving a eulogy. Keep it simple and from the heart. Touch on tender, funny or memorable moments you shared in life. Speak slowly and clearly, making eye contact with members at the service. This is NOT a time to bring up old disputes or character flaws, even presented humorously.
