How Do You Start a Eulogy? A eulogy is a speech given in honor of a person's life at a funeral or memorial service. ... You could start with something simple like: “My name is __________ , the wife/husband/son/daughter/friend of ___________.” Another idea is to explain how you knew the deceased, or how you first met.

I miss my younger sister, but I know she's in a better place. Her spirit was an inspiration. My sister lived a wholesome life despite the challenges and troubles.
