The Eulogy
You, a friend or relative may wish to say a few words about the person who has died during the service . This is called a eulogy or tribute.
Writing a eulogy is a way of saying farewell to someone who has died – it helps to bring the person to life in the minds of the audience. You may choose to prepare and read this yourself, or ask the officiant at the service to do this on your behalf.
Poems and Readings
