STEP 2. THINK OF 5 WORDS TO DISCRIBE THEM

These can be your main points for your funeral tribute and you can find stories, memories or examples to illustrate this quality in them.
For example, if one of your words is 'generous', you might then elaborate on that with a tale of the time they came out at 3am because your car had broken down and you were scared. Or you could remind everyone how they loved to treat friends to meals out or rounds of drinks (you might even
want to refer to some of those people who might be there). Spend some time thinking about what made them generous and note down all your thoughts: how they would spend time with people they loved and really listen to them; how they would give the shirt off their back to someone in need; how they volunteered at the local cat rescue... Then you can do that with your other adjectives too, and really build a picture of your
person.

HOW TO WRITE A FUNERAL TRIBUTE:

Here are some hints and tips on how to write a funeral tribute.

Follow these 5 steps:

STEP 1:

Remember it's a funeral tribute, not an English assignment! You are writing about your personal memories at a time of raw emotion, and that's tough enough. The reason that many people feel further daunted by writing a tribute is that they imagine their old English teacher leaning over them with a red pen, or think about the times they've had to present something at work and needed to wow their audience. This isn't a time to worry about entertaining people, being judged, or doing it 'right. What is right is what's right for you and the person you're writing the tribute about. There is no template needed. So try not to write it like a formal speech, imagining a faceless audience. Instead, if you're stuck for knowing how to start, try writing it to your loved one, as if it were a letter. This helps to make it more intimate and personal, and reduces the 'audience' in your head down to just you and the person you love. You can always change it to the third person later if you want to, but this trick helps you to relax into writing and be more you.
