Concerned Guest:
Generally speaking :
An Obituary is a written statement about a death, such as you might see in The Times
A Eulogy alternatively is a speech given in praise of someone - especially at a funeral.

What I am referring to in my Opening Post is the Eulogy given (spoken) at Bert's funeral - which was NOT heard by many people in church because (1) of its size and (2) the extremely bad sound system.
I know I for one, and many others, would like to know the life of Bert which was given at church that day.
