EXAMPLE OF A FUNERAL RESOLUTION

Example Of A Funeral resolution are often confused with eulogies as they are both typically read at funerals. A eulogy is much more light-hearted and typically involves stories, anecdotes, and memories of life with the deceased. This type of speech is usually written and read by a close friend or family member.

A funeral resolution on the other hand, is serious in tone, follows a specific format and becomes official church documents that will be saved in the church’s archives. Funeral resolutions are typically for members of a church, however, many large organizations and companies choose to honor members and employees with funeral resolutions as a way of expressing gratitude and acknowledging service.

Parts of a Funeral Resolution

Funeral resolutions usually consist of five parts and should not be longer than two pages. You will need to include a title, introduction, whereas statements, resolutions, and the official statement.

Title

The title of the resolution is typically centered at the top of the first page, consists of one line, and includes the full name of the deceased. Phrases such as ‘Resolution of Respect’ or ‘Resolution in Loving Memory’ followed by the name of the deceased are common titles.

Example: Resolution of Respect for Dr. Ann Marie Smith

Introduction

The introduction, like the title, is made up of one line. This section is also commonly referred to as the Introduction of Faith. The purpose here is to acknowledge the deceased’s close relationship with God as well as his or her passing. Some people choose to include a funeral poem or passage from the Bible in this section as well. A few questions to ask before writing the introduction are:

What was the deceased’s relationship with God like?
Did the deceased have a favorite Bible verse?

When writing the introduction, you should use eloquent language to convey that the deceased is now with God.

Example: Almighty God has chosen, with His infinite wisdom, to call our beloved Dr. Ann Marie Smith to join Him in heaven. Mark 10:14 says, ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.’
