My favorite eulogy was one that was given for a friend's son who committed
suicide at age 16. His pastor told us a story about a funny scheme/scam this
kid was running with umbrellas. It was the first time I ever laughed during
a funeral. We often forget that the deceased wasn't always surrounded with
sorrow.

As Stefan says, we don't deal with content here, but my advice is to speak
from the heart. Tell the things you loved about your uncle, special things
he did for you or that you enjoyed doing together. Include some humorous
anecdotes, as these are always welcome at funerals. I've often attended
funerals for parents of friends (to support my friends even though I
didn't know their parents) and come away wishing I'd known the deceased
because the family tell such interesting anecdotes about them.
