A speech made in honor of someone after their death is called a eulogy. Typically delivered at funerals or memorial services, a eulogy serves to commemorate and reflect on the life of the deceased, celebrating their achievements, character, and impact on others. It often includes personal anecdotes, shared memories, and expressions of love and loss from family members, friends, or religious leaders. The purpose of a eulogy is to honor the deceased's memory, provide comfort to those grieving, and offer a moment of reflection on life and legacy during a difficult time.
