re: Have you ever given a eulogy?

It's not as bad as you thik it might be. You usually have plenty you want to tell the world about a loved one, whether it's about what they meant to you or the family, or about their character, or their accomplishments, or funny/proud/poignant anecdotes. Your memories of why they were special. A memorial.

I've actually found it harder to give an entertaining wedding speech that makes a shithead buddy look like the Greatest Guy in the World.
