A Eulogy is sometimes interchanged with an Elegy (a more poetic eulogy), like Elegy written in a country churchyard, by Thomas Gray.

I have heard many excellent eulogies in my lifetime. George H. W. Bush gave a memorable eulogy at his father's funeral several years ago.

I didn't give a eulogy at my grandfather's funeral for he didn't deserve one from me..........

I loved the Eulogys given my our minister at both of my parent's funerals. He knew them both really well. What really got me in tears was the military salute to my dad at the end.
