Although death is one of the things that are certain in life, most if not all people still find it difficult to deal with it when placed in this situation. Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be difficult and may require talking about your feelings, expressing your condolences to a family member or writing about your grief.
Generally, the attendees do not want to give additional grief to those affected, hence the tendency is to keep quiet and simply extend their support silently. We learn to cope with the situation at least temporarily. Think of it as writing a speech.
While some are buried in family cemetery plots, others are entombed in mausoleums. If more than one person is delivering a eulogy, coordinate with them so both approaches are used. Look at your local bookstore for poetry books that have memorial or condolence poems included or search online for posted poetry.
Humor is an appropriate way to celebrate life. If you find it hard to think of moving things to say, you may want to look at various sources for inspiration or short quotes to include in your speech.
