Good morning Kari 🌞.... excellent advice on giving these....as I've said the hardest ones I've given were for Dad and brother....both exceptionally difficult to give but my love for them allowed the words to flow in a somewhat smooth manner😀 I was complimented on both....I've given others and knowing the deceased really helped....also practicing really helped 😀 gang, remember, eulogies can be the most difficult but also the most beautiful thing you can do for a deceased friend or family member.....along with being asked to be a pallbearer, being asked by a family to be a eulogist at the funeral of their loved one is absolutely a privilege and an honor for you😀 a blessed day everyone😀
@@KaritheMortician six.....still never easy....I already know heaven forbid if something happens to my twin I will have to give his.....we are very close and that one just might do me in 😀 our priests are preferring them at the funeral home instead of during the liturgy in church.....most awkward one was at the funeral of an acquaintance and no one had the nerve to speak and they kind of said c'mon , go on Gary ...say something 😀 had to do that one on the fly😀😀😀😀
Just verbally screwing up in front of a crowd. But that was a major freshman in high school thing. I have kind of come out of my shell now, as I'm 55 now. Love your channel!
Kari Lovely Lady There was a series of movie comedies, "The Pink Panther", involving a Inspector Clouseau, a bumbling French police officer. The best of the series featured the actor Peter Sellars. One day it appeared that Clouseau had been shot to death. And his arch-enemy did an eulogy, of sorts, on TV. So while he's apparently being sorrowful, he's laughing, too.
I love your two minutes! I like to be selfish with the information and pray for a 10 min 😂 lol I’m jk. Keep on keeping on! I love these videos! I stop what I’m doing sometimes the second I see your name pop up on UA-cam
Just because I can’t get enough! I’m really thinking about just starting the process to at least become a receptionist at a funeral home! I was previously a receptionist for funeral homes worldwide with Omni/ FuneralCall so maybe that’d help me out with becoming hired! That way I could at least get my foot in the door 🥰
A LOT of my friends from Hawaii via Facebook call it a celebration of life. Well, I wanna celebrate also. I have recently been rediagnosed with Secondary Progressive MS. I'm gunna throw my own celebration by actually being there and meeting some FB friends for the 1st time. I've got almost 30 songs that's dear to my heart, and I plan on playing them softly during the whole shebang. I'm being cremated so no funeral for me. My Asshes are being sent to Hawaii and scattered in the ocean. It'll be only way I ever get there. I hope to go live with it, as I also have friends in the UK. I think it'll be trippy in the least. 😌😅😂
@@KaritheMortician yes ma'am. One of those pics that says something like, don't come to my funeral bringing flowers, bring em now while I'm still alive and can enjoy them; gave me the idea. Plus, I'd be curious as to whom and how many shows up..LOL
Kari, is it easier or somehow better to prepare a eulogy before a person passes away, so that you can think more clearly and are not weighed down with heavy emotions? I don't think quite so clearly when I'm sad. Any thoughts?
What if the person really wasn’t a good person? I went to a service recently of a woman who had died from an overdose and listening to the eulogy you would think she was being recommended for sainthood. When they called her a loving mother I had to bite my tongue. Her last child was born addicted with several problems due to her drug use and never once getting any prenatal care. She literally showed up at the ER delivered the baby and abandoned it. Her other kids she had done the same way. I went to be supportive of her mother but afterwards wished I had not even went.
Remember she was still someone's child, someone's loved one. You were just an outsider seeing one piece of her life, it sounds like her mother had unconditional love for her. You were not exclusively privy to her entire private life, people who loved her chose to remember the good times. Remember, non of us are without flaw.
Marie G You’re right but still I had known her for a number of years and other than when she was a child I can’t think of a time she wasn’t hurting people one way or another. It’s one thing to remember the good but another to pretty much lie.
@@chrisj197438 your level of compassion and empathy for her painful life is ... lets say remarkable. "There but the grace of G-d go I " and " forgive us as we forgive others who have sinned against us "
@@chrisj197438 I think that you bring up an excellent point. I wouldn't even know where to start, if I were in this situation. If it is a service in a church, I would confer with the pastor or an admin. The deceased subjected her children to her habit, God forbid.
Hi... can you please add subtitles for us deaf, hard of hearing and hearing loss people, also veterans? I’m pretty upset since you have stopped using subtitles since this and next vlog, too. Thanks.

Good advice for someone who fears speaking inpublic.👍🏻

Thank you, as always Kari! Any tips on public speaking plus sending off a beloved is greatly appreciated. You are always my top sub! 🙏💞
Awesome 2 min!! As usual!
You are great sweetie. God blessings to you and your family.
Nuggets of powerful information Kari , thank you Ma'am ❣
@@KaritheMortician You're welcome my lady.
When my grandma passed and her memorial services, it blew me away.
@@KaritheMortician my family, friends, the community. Her memorial filled up the entire funeral home. Gosh I miss her so much.
Great advice!
Awesome video

You're the greatest! Thank you for all you do!

Writing mums was the worst. But t was very personal. And it helped me to decide to become a Funeral celebrant

Have you done two minutes on what makes a good obituary?

I really work better in the moment and in the crunch. I think you have better emotion after the death to write something.

I wish I had this advice before I was to Eulogise a ham radio frien
I am sure you did great!
