The Wall Street Journal
has a piece on efforts to limit or eliminate eulogies.
I seriously dislike eulogies at Catholic funerals- the point is to pray for the deceased's soul, not to give him the 'instant canonization' all too commonly present in eulogies.
However, I'll admit it- I would really like to have been there when the one guy in the pews stood up and 'ruined' a set of eulogies by publicly stating that the deceased was 'a no-good S.O.B. ' !
