I have given three for very close friends and each was unique. I tried to use respectful humor and usually closed with some verse appropriate for the person. I was very honored to have the opportunity to do this but very stressed because I wanted it to be my very best effort. I actually covered the humorous points with the family before I used it in the eulogy.

Most difficult public speaking experience of my life, all three times. I still don't know how I maintained my composure but got through all three and was asked to contribute my remarks to the family, which I was happy to do.
