[QUOTE="cobbwubs, post: 386778, member: 2159"] All good advice. Here's my .02 as someone with a couple decades in ministry... Prepare: Have notes, even a couple bullet points, BUT tell the stories to the congregation instead of reading them. Practice once. Good Memories: Eulogy literally means "Good Words". A Eulogy and service is for the best memories. and yes, there is no need to "sanitize" best memories to make them appropriate. Don't preach: If its a service of faith, preaching is someone else's job. If the person's faith was an important part of who they were, then talking about that is great. [/QUOTE]
