I said I would speak at my Grandma's funeral but I dont have a clue what about?

Do I speak about what she used to do? (Try and feed you constantly)
What she was like?

Do I speak from my point of view or generally?

What did you guys speak about?

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done.
 
I'd personally try and tell a funny and personal story of something that happened between yourself and your gran, just something to lighten the mood.

Try and metion something that everyone will remember, if she tried to feed you constantly mention it. You might want to mention what she meant to you and how special she was.

Just go with what you feel is right.
 
I'd just try and mention the things she enjoyed and was passionate about. Also mention some of the memories you've got of her, and how you enjoyed having her in your life, and what she meant to you.
 
I think you need to say what a great lady she was etc. But, Also say some stuff about events in her life. Especially funny stuff. At my nan's funeral we talked about her and some of her accident prone incidents. When we said how she accidentally set fire to the caravan people laughed.
Funerals shouldn't be all doom and gloom. They should be the celebration of the person and their life.
 
You simply say what YOU feel like saying, not what you think others will want to hear. Tell them something about what made her your Grandma, whats you biggest/fondest memorie, share it.
Speak from the heart and it will be perfect.
I read a poem at my grandads funeral, nearly made it to the end without cracking, hardest thing i had to do, but i would do it again in a flash.
