I'm sorry for your and your community's loss.

Really no eulogy? I've never been to a funeral that didn't include at least some kind of eulogy, even if was a clergyman repeating what the family had told him about a person he didn't know.

I agree with you that often the best eulogies come from relatives and friends. At a good funeral, you laugh and you cry, and you come away knowing the deceased better than when you got there.
