DAY 309: EULOGY

A eulogy is comprised of remembrances and commentary about a deceased person, and is an important tradition at Central Kentucky funerals.

The very best eulogies are lovingly and thoughtfully delivered by a person who knows the deceased very well; that personal relationship and the intimate commentary they are able to provide can be a very healing act of selfless kindness. The closer the relationship, the more difficult it must be to eulogize a loved one who has passed away.

This particular funeral followed a terribly tragic death, but the eulogist was able to hold it all together and help promote healing of some deeply broken hearts - and all in attendance appreciated it and responded to it. Notice the hands.
