Sorry about your dad's death.
Just go from the heart. Nobody at the funeral expects you to give the best speech of your life. Simply tell why you loved your dad, give examples of what you admired about him, and why the world was a better place because he was here.
It doesn't have to be long and it is ok to pause if you hit a rough spot.
My condolences to your family.

Don't write anything...You can't really put into words how your dad was. Maybe put a slidshow together of pictures from stuff that you and your dad did together. Thats what I did for my moms funeral service last year. I know what your going through. And if you remember the good times it will help out a lot. though I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My mom died when I was 14 and I just turned 15. Instead of talking about how your dad was,Show them. It will leave a lasting impression. May God be with you.

My Mom also died on Oct 5, 2006. I'm very sorry for your loss. I just sat down to write her eulogy and saw your question. I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I just wanted to say I'm sorry and good luck.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have also lost my dad and my brother, and the emotions can be so confusing when you realize that your life will never be the same again.
A eulogy doesn't have to be long. Just think of the things that you learned from your dad, and the things that you will always remember about him. A lot of times, the best memories are about special moments - not big events, but just times that you shared together. When my brother died, his daughters remembered how he cooked breakfast for them, and how he let them paint his fingernails and put curlers in his hair. Those were just a couple of the little things they remembered, things that showed how much he loved them.
Just write from your heart. And always treasure your memories of your dad.

Sorry for your loss. My Dad is going through health problems right now.
I often think I couldn't do a eulogy for my parents. Maybe I will , maybe let another sibling do it. But, If I were going to..I believe I would talk to my Dad personally as if he was there with me. Because, your Dad is with you. Just say what you feel from the heart. It will flow out. good luck and God bless.

I lost my father earlier this year so I understand what you are going through. When I was writing about my father I started about his childhood ,schooling,work history,his interests as a young lad and then his experiences in later life.There is no specific way of writing a eulogy it`s about what your saw in your dad. Just write how you feel and what you want to say. Good luck with it all.

A eulogy comes from the heart. It tells about how you felt about this person. You typically share some really great memories, whether they are funny or have touched you in any way. It doesn't have to be long. It needs to be simple and sincere. Condolences for your loss.

I wrote my dads 10yrs ago. I just wrote from the heart. I talked about his career and how he loved it and some funny stories from that. I wrote about us kids and the fun times we had with him. I felt a lot better after having done so. Having those fond memories to look back on was nice, it was good to have a laugh with my mom and bros and sis. Best of luck and my condolences.

First, let me express my deepest of sympathies. I would say recall your fondest memory of you and your dad. Don't write out exactly what you are going to say. Jot a couple of topics you wish to address on a card. Tell how caring your dad was.
