Eulogist. This should not be confused with the Principal Mourner- normally the closest living relative of the deceased- who follow the casket into the church. I discharged this office at my Mother"s funeral.

This depends on the faith of the service. In a Catholic service, it is not appropriate for someone to provide an Eulogy within the context of the Holy service, but instead afterwards. The individual is 'eulogising' their friend or family member. The word eulogise actually means to 'bless' someone. Occasionally used is the word Encomium - which means to praise someone. In either case the speaker may be addressed as just that: Speaker. Alternatively, it could be listed as 'Contributor,' or presenter. It's even possible to use the word 'orator.' An orator is expected to be able to change the atmosphere or mood of the people. Therefore, the word may apply, dependent upon the presenter's oratorical talents.

It isn"t always done. There might be a blessing at the funeral parlor by a lay funeral home employee- but there is no real space for a eulogy in the requiem mass. The principal mourner, out of tradition, follows the coffin into the church. I performed this office once.
