Write it tight first and that might jar some expressive thoughts loose. At least, this is what worked for me.
I don't know if advice is helpful, but I wrote them for my parents and two sisters. Think in factual bullet points. Statement of the death. Biography (highlights of their life). Close relatives. Whatever service or memorial to be held. Thoughts or special acknowledgements. This is the worst task.
Mashed potatoes go really well with sauerkraut. Pan fry until you get a light brown on the potatoes.
Throw a pork butt in a slow cooker with sauerkraut, sliced apples, and some garlic cloves. Pan fry pierogies and onions, add sauerkraut just to warm.

Keep the disaster! You can use it in other sweet dishes.
I had a cat who would only eat chocolate icecream, no other flavor. She also strongly preferred plain yogurt to vanilla.
