question about funerals

I have a funeral coming up of a close friend, which unfortunately I am unable to get too because it's a different part of the country. I want to pay my respects, so I thought about writing a eulogy and then getting someone else (who will be able to attend), to read it. do people do that?. is it acceptable?

People are usually asked to give a eulogy by the immediate family. You should send it as a note to the family and address it as what you'd like to say about your friend if you could be there. Then they have the choice to include it. At the very least, the grieving family will appreciate the note.
