"Alright the last type of eulogy style that you might want to choose from is called a theme, and there can be any kind of theme imaginable for a person's eulogy. But there are some specific ones that are chosen a lot. The two ones that are chosen the most, are religious, and music. Once this person that you are eulogizing, was there life about music. If so, then you want to incorporate music as a huge part of the speech. You can put in any information that you want, but it all must be related to the theme. If Jim showed musical prodigy, was a musical prodigy, he studied music in high school, he wrote this orchestra, orchestration, he played this instrument, so forth and so on, but everything you say about that person will be tied into their love of music, and music will obviously be played. The same would go for any other theme. If is was religious, you would talk about all the person's religious connections, accomplishments, so forth, and so on, and that might be linked in with scriptures, or bible verses, or any kind of prayer, or anything like that. But the entire speech runs along and sticks with the course of the theme."
