Have you ever been asked to say a few words at someone's funeral, and you froze? Refused? Just as death is a stage of life, so too is the fact that many of us will be asked, at one time or another, to say a few words, or deliver the main eulogy, at a loved one's funeral or memorial.

Eulogies are rarely taught in school, and, thankfully, few of us write them as part of our daily work or personal life. The following articles and resources about eulogies may be helpful, when the time comes, in figuring out what to say and how to say it.
