Explanation
A eulogy is a speech or short writing that someone gives to honour and remember a person who has died. It is usually spoken at a funeral or a memorial service. In a eulogy, the speaker shares kind words about the person’s life, what they did, how they made others feel, and why they were special. The purpose of a eulogy is to show respect, express love, and help others remember the person in a positive way. It can be emotional, funny, or touching—anything that shows who the person really was.
