elegiac poetry[edit]
shouldn't "elegiac poetry" be in the entry for "elegy", not "eulogy"? ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.112.123.190 (talk) 17:38, 20 March 2012 (UTC) Removed. Oliver Kroll (talk) 01:44, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

In the US, they take place where?[edit]
"In the US, they take place in a funeral home during or after a wake"
All I can say is Huh? I've been to many funerals in the US, both Protestant and Jewish, where eulogies were said at a funeral service in the church of synagogue sanctuary. The flat statement above implies that US funerals are held in funeral homes (not always true) and that there is some kind of national tradition forbidding eulogies in places of worship (certainly false). Very rarely, I've heard eulogies said at small graveside services. Douglas W. Jones (talk) 04:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC).
