Eulogy??
A poem written about someone who has passed away is typically called an elegy. Elegies often express sorrow, grief, and admiration for the deceased person.
You can ask a good family friend who knew the deceased to do the eulogy. I think most people would understand if you don't do the eulogy. Are you expected to do the eulogy? As for writing the eulogy I have no really practical advice to give. The link below might give you some more information that you might consider.
A eulogy.
He was inadequate in his delivery of a good eulogy.
It is called a Eulogy.
That would be a typo of an "epic" poem, good sir.
He gave a moving eulogy at the funeral of his friend.Eulogy= a good speech; spoken or written praise of someone or something, especially of a person who has recently died.
The plural of eulogy is eulogies. As in "the eulogies at the funeral were emotional".
All you need to do is to follow a certain dramatic structure: * Escalate the feeling. A good speech starts by building up emotions, and setting the theme of the eulogy. One good way to start the eulogy is to start with an observation, a metaphor, or any other literary device to remind the audience of the departed. * Sustain the emotion. Good speeches sustain the feelings of the audience. While you don't have to keep your audience on the edge of their seats during the funeral service, you have to make them feel appreciative of the time they spent with their loved one. * End on a positive note. When concluding your speech, try to leave a lasting impression of the person's life instead of his or her death. An easy way to make a conclusion is to go back to your introduction, and make your speech about remembrance.
The prefix in the word "eulogy" is "eu-," which comes from the Greek word for "good" or "well." The root is "logos," which means "speech" or "word" in Greek. So, "eulogy" literally means a "good speech" or "well-spoken words" typically delivered in praise or honor of someone who has passed away.
Obscene Eulogy was created in 1999.
