Hello, I would like to say a few words at my mom’s funeral service. I did not do so at my dads funeral because I did not think I could even make it through my first sentence before becoming a puddle on the floor. For those of you who had to do this, was it easier than you thought, or are there any tricks to try and hold it together? I am wondering if once I get up there, instinct will kick in and it won’t be a problem. Sorry if I don’t reply to what you have to say, but I will read all advice and am appreciative of it.


I don’t think anyone will care if you turn to a puddle, I’ve been to many funerals and seen it happen.
I didn’t speak at my father’s funeral for the same reason though.
