Great grandads funeral in 2 days…how to cope with it???

On the sunday that just went my great grandad passed away because of cancer. Anyway…the funeral is this saturday. I don’t know what they are called but i’m one of the people who carries the coffin to the car at the end of the ceremony. Anyhow, one of the things they have to do at his funeral is view the body at the end, place the lid on the coffin and carry it and so on. I know that viewing the body is all part of paying you’re respects, but i’ve never seen a dead person before, I think i’m gonna faint there or something embarrassing. How do you handle viewing bodies…? Please help, i’m worried?!

Firstly I would like to thank everyone from my heart who replied to my question last week, with such caring and comforting words.

Tomorrow is the funeral and I’m dreading it as it will finally hit home that she’s not coming back. I just don’t know how I’m going to get through- I will be with her fiancee trying to look after him but will be a mess myself.
I’m definately going there was no question of me not going I just don’t want to break down

Help for a funeral please.?

My father in law is dying and we have been told that he has days, if not hours, to live. He lives in New Zealand and the funeral will be held there. However, we are in the UK with no hope and getting the money to go out there so we are holding a remembrance service here in the UK for the family and friends here. I have arranged the church etc but I am unsure of what needs doing.
Do I need an order of service? What would it need to include? what is the correct funeral ettiquette? Please help, I have only ever been to two funerals and can not remember much about them.

Thanks
Sorry, I think I may have caused confusion here. I have not booked the church as yet but have spoken to the vicar as it is not our local parish and he has agreed to hold the remembrance service and say prayers in the normal service. Basically I am trying to get everything done that I can before the dreaded news so that I can give my hubby and step-daughter my full attention and support.

I am going to be speaking at my Nana’s funeral at the beginning of next week and I though I would read out a poem as well as saying a few words of my own as my nan loved to read poetry. I’ve been trying to find a suitable poem but I’m finding it really difficult. Does anyone know of a poem that I could read out, it needs to be beautiful. Thank you x
Thank you so much to everyone that has answered, there are some beautiful words in some of those poems. I really appreciate your help xxx
