  • Funeral attendance

    Hi
    can anyone tell me if they keep records of who gave the eulogy at a funeral?

    Probably only if there was a write-up in the local paper afterwards. The Victorians were quite keen on this - I have a funeral write-up for my gg-grandfather.

        Would it have been on the order of service for the memorial? Might the undertakers have kept a copy?

            If there was a death notice in the local paper that might well tell you the name of the funeral directors.
