I. Overview
Generally speaking, there is no fixed format for eulogy, but the form of eulogy is relatively stable. This paper mainly introduces the format and writing of reading eulogy. The eulogy mainly consists of three parts.
Second, the title
Titles can be formed in two ways. One is to bear the title directly with the name of the language. Such as "eulogy". The other is the name and language name of the deceased.
Third, the text.
Eulogy usually consists of three parts: the beginning, the middle and the end.
1, go?
Explain affectionately the purpose of convening or attending this memorial service, explain the position, title and address of the deceased as comprehensively and accurately as possible to show respect, and pay attention to the order of these titles. Then it briefly summarizes the year, month, day, time, reason and age enjoyed by the deceased.
2. the middle part?
Take the lead in remembering the dead. This is the main part of the eulogy. This part mainly includes two aspects. The first is to introduce the life story of the deceased, that is, to focus on the birthplace, education and life achievements of the deceased, and to highlight the contribution of the deceased to the people and society.
The second is to comprehensively evaluate the thought, spirit, style, quality and accomplishment of the deceased, and introduce its positive influence on others and society. Such as inspiring and inspiring young people and setting an example for future generations. This part of the introduction can be summarized first and then introduced in detail; You can also introduce it in detail first and then summarize it.
3. the ending?
It mainly describes the mourning of the living for the dead and how to learn from the dead, inherit their unfinished business, turn grief into strength and make greater contributions to the country and society. Finally, write something like "immortality", "immortal spirit" or "rest in peace". The end of the eulogy should be positive, not negative.
So try not to use the word "rest in peace" at the end. Because "rest in peace" is a phrase used by western Catholics in holding ceremonies for the dead, which contains the negative thought that life is painful in this world and happiness can only be obtained after death.
Fourth, signature.
The eulogy usually introduces the people attending the memorial service at the beginning, so the inscription at the end of the eulogy usually only indicates the date.
