Many of these books include information on how to give eulogies. You can also find some different books on the funeral procedure, which might also help you to find examples of eulogies that have been written for various situations. Of course, now with the Internet is accessible almost everywhere, you can also look for examples online. There are several different sites devoted to eulogies and you can usually find an model of what you are looking to say.
Eulogy examples are frequently divided into very different types of eulogies, related on your bound with the deceased. This is because a eulogy for your mother, for example, would be much more emotional and lengthy than one for your coworker. You will find among the numerous examples that there is a wide range of emotion displayed in eulogies - with some speeches being highly emotional and others being more business.
When the eulogy examples that you like and fits your situation is found, be certain to personalize the example for your situation. Never replicate an example word for word, even if the example says what you want to say in your speech.

Try not to sound as if you have used a model or example for your eulogy, instead transform the example you have into something personal.

I like the idea that there is someone out there who works as a professional eulogy writer/speaker. I like even better that they caution against using a pre-existing eulogy and just replacing the name.
