Eulogies and Remembrances
Eulogies and remembrances are beautiful and meaningful ways for family members, close friends and associates to express their grief and to recall the many gifts, talents and virtues of the person who died.
These testimonies are best offered at the wake service, the internment, or at a reception following the funeral liturgy. They are particularly meaningful at a reception where spontaneous remarks from loved ones can be offered.
Because these memorials are not a formal part of the liturgical celebration, we do not include eulogies or remembrances during the Mass of Christian Burial.
This Link from Our Sunday Visitor will give some background information.
