I gathered you all here today to honor the death of our dear late Ophelia. She was nothing short of a beautiful maiden whose days were short. Oh how we all wish she could have lived longer, and experience more. Her time here on earth were well lived. Up until the very end. Ophelia's sudden death seemed to have been prompted by the murder of her father Polonius. She loved him dearly and his death provoked her to go insane.we are unclear of how exactly Our dear maiden passed, whether it was an accident or on purpose but because of her standings with the royal family she will receive a christian burial.
Our love for her is grand, but does not compare to the love Hamlet had for her. Unfortunately for them their love was nothing short of a tragedy. Ophelia was forced to break away from her true love, under the order of her father. then was told to redeliver Hamlets gifts in front of the new king. Their break up was another reason for Ophelia's poise to be corrupted and changed into madness. Shes been through a lot, but if gave her a beautifully bothered look.
I feel bad for our lost beauty, her life was stolen by a current and a heavy dress. I now give this flower to Ophelia. It is a symbol of my love, and is a gift she once kindly bestowed upon me. She loved flowers, I wonder if it was because they are just as beautiful as she was. I will place this on her casket, and we will begin to set her down into the place were she will now lay forever.
Unfortunately for Ophelia she was running through the six with her woes and she must have tripped into a lake. May the lord bless her resting soul. Poor Ophelia.

I love your interpretation of the scene and your eulogy is spot on. I love your ending with the Drake quote its easy for many people to relate too. And I also agree with what you have to say in reference to your standing on her reason for madness and her relationship with Hamlet.
