Answer 2

Thats a lovely idea.

I spoke at my dads funeral.

It was very hard but I managed and I am glad I did.
I wrote a little speech the morning of the funeral it just came into my head.

I can't remember exactly how it started but I just mentioned a few of the things I remembered best about him.Things we had done together when I was little etc.

You could just start by saying you would like to share a few memories that you have of your special Nan.

Don't make it too long 'cos it is hard to stand up and say something.

If you have time write it down then if you can't go through with it you can leave it with the flowers and people can still read all the things you have to say.

Hope it goes ok and I'm really sorry to hear about your Nan.

Sorry for your loss. Have the speech or points written down and refer to them. Nobody will mind as it is a very difficult thing to do and you don't want to be stumbling although don't be afraid to show emotion. First of all ask yourself what kind of person your nan was. I am sure she was loving but was she full of life, quiet, wise, generous, charitable, like to voice her opinion ? Perhaps almost all of these. Could start off by first of all welcoming everyone to what is a celebration of your nan's life and thanking all for coming. It would be optional if you want to give a brief resume of her life as in where she was born, married, worked, family etc. If she was always one to make you laugh, tell a couple of funny incidents which have happened. If she was of a more quiet, gentle nature get that point over. You can tell special memories you have of her and how much she will be missed by so many people. At the end if she had a favourite saying or expression finish off by quoting this. If she was more serious and quiet you could say something like. May her gentle soul rest in peace. These are all just suggestions, only you knew your nan but hopefully will give you a few pointers in the right direction. Take care

Answer 5

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my nana at the end of last year and i really wanted to do something at the funeral. I chose a poem that was close to my heart to be read out at the funeral so could you start with a peice of writing that your nan liked? Passage from a book.

Its really hard to say and its personal so whatever you chose to do im sure your nan will appriciate :]

Answer 6

My sympathy to you.

Don't make a speech!

Just talk as if you are talking to your very best friend about your beloved Nan. Talk as if she was alive, because she is - in your heart and in your mind.

Talk about the things that you loved about her, tell about a few of the special and/or funny moments that you spent with her. It is not wrong to be able to laugh at a funeral when you share light-hearted moments of her life.

She may well have told some of the stories herself before she died, to get a laugh from her family and friends - Just go for it - no notes - just talk from your heart.

All the very best

Answer 7

Sorry. My Grandma died in 2005 and we were very close. It is hard to know what to say.

The main things are to keep it simple and to speak from the heart. Draw on your memories of your Nan, talk about what made her special.

Some things I enjoyed hearing about at my Grandma's funeral / memorial were things I didn't know about her that other older family members remembered (such as her 20-year career as a beautician, which I didn't know much about because she was retired by the time I came along!).

I told some of my memories of visiting Disneyland with her, and of her driving me to my piano lessons when I was a kid (which was all new to the older family members who knew her as a Sister or Aunt, but hadn't experienced her as a Grandma) Sharing these things really is a great experience that comes from something that is sad. It is a way to bring the family closer and to celebrate life!

You are just such a "memory bank" for your family so try to paint a picture of those special times you shared that you want other people to know about.

Best of luck. I really feel for you. Your Nan will always live on through you and the other lives she touched.

Answer 8

start out by talking about the things you remember most about your nan. I am so sorry

Good luck
