Hit us with some suggestion fellas

i think that to be successful you need to be able to spell eulogy and you also need to be able to understand the question so i suggest going back to the drawing board on this one

I think that some part of a memorial to both of them has to include how their love transcended the family rivalry.  Perhaps, going back to the text to identify particular lines and emotions conveyed between the two of them would help here.  I think that the eulogy should end with the idea that their death has to be the defining statement as to why this rivalry between both houses is frivolous and baseless.  Perhaps, their death would be able to bring this element to the surface.  Ending with this particular idea can be a very appropriate memorial piece to both of them.

Wisdom is a child of grief.  The two naive, impetuous youths in a rush of love and emotion propelled themselves to their untimely deaths.  Thus, this sorrowful occasion then gave rise to the "glooming peace" of wisdom on the morning after the death of the two "star-crossed lovers."

It is in the spirit of this wisdom born of tragedy that the Prince tells us people to "Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things" so that we may understand the woe of the feuding and story of Juliet and her Romeo.
