words to say at best friends funeral?

Answer 1

Just let it come from the heart. Sorry about your friend :-(

Answer 2

Anything you want to say. Sharing anything you can remember that you feel made him a special person and best friend is ok.

You could start by saying I really miss this man. He was such a great person and a great friend. I remember on one occasion when he, blah, blah, blah. And then there was the time when he, blah, blah, blah. I'll aways cherish his kindness and generosity. I'm sure he's in a good place, but I so wish he were still here.

I've only been to one funeral in my life. It was for the wife of a guy at work. He's Jewish, and as I listened to what he had to say about his wife, I was impressed. His kids (two young boys) spoke too. They both did a great job of it. I was moved by the whole thing.

Answer 3

I've done eulogies. Here are some points to hit:

-Talk about the good parts of that person's personality. Stuff that everyone said about the person (He was funny, kind, smart, etc.)

-Tell a story that shows a side of the person that most people didn't see; something personal.

-If you are going to tell a joke, be careful. Make sure it is one that won't insult anyone or make anyone thing badly of the deceased.

-Extoll a lesson that the person would want people to follow as his legacy ("He would have wanted us to remain close to each other, to preach the word...") Whatever you think the deceased person would have wanted said as a lesson at his funeral.

-Keep it short, and simple, and try, if at all possible, to keep your emotions in check. Being strong in front of everyone will help everyone else cope with their guilt.

I'm sorry for your loss. Good luck and take care.

Answer 4

Wow! You don't say much to give us an idea of how long you were friends, etc. This must be terribly difficult, no matter what. Try to plan ahead and write down your thoughts on paper in order to condense them. Say what's in your heart! I haven't experienced such a thing, but trying to put myself in your place, here goes: We had a close friendship. We laughed together, learned together. Losing this person is like losing a part of myself. We should celebrate this wonderful life, as it was a great contribution to ours. My life will be better for having known him/her. They will be greatly missed. Hopefully we will all be together again someday. He/she is peaceful now, and in God's tender loving care. We must take solace in that. Hope some of these things are helpful to you. If I were in your place, I'd probably be in total, utter shock, so good luck and God Bless you!

Answer 5

Talk about something memorable that you too lived. It might be painful so keep it short or write it and have someone else read it.

Think about what he/she would want you to say. What would they want you to point out about them. Their most talked about achievements. What did he/she love most about themselves. Funnest or Funniest experiences.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.
