Eulogies

Sadly, I have delivered eulogies for both my parents and two other relatives in the past couple of years.

I think its better if a family member or a friend can say something, unless the deceased was religious and was well known by a vicar or priest.

If they werent known to the vicar/priest , anything they say can come across as being unreal.

Try to keep things simple, dont speak for longer than 10 mins at most.

Ask several people for recollections, it makes the talk more rounded and you will find ouit things about the person that you never realised.

Only do it if you can hold yourself together, its not easy, but well worth it as a mark of respect.

Good luck.
