Keep the greeting short

The greeting given at the time of the dedication should be kept as short as possible. If you have strong feelings for the deceased, it is easy to make the greeting longer, but aim to keep it to one to two minutes.

 

Be careful not to turn your back to the image of the deceased.

Before giving the dedicatory speech, you need to move to the place where you will give your speech. At this time, be careful not to turn your back to the image of the deceased. Turning one's back to the image of the deceased is disrespectful to both the deceased and the bereaved family. When going to the place where the cup is to be offered, as well as when returning to your seat, be mindful of the position of the deceased's image.

 

Holding the cup with both hands

When offering the cup, it is good manners to hold the cup in one hand and support it with the other hand below. Holding the cup in one hand is only acceptable on festive occasions such as weddings. In the offering of a cup, which is an occasion of mourning, the cup should be held with both hands, so please be very careful how you hold it.

Also, since both hands are occupied during the greeting, the greeting should be given without holding the manuscript. It is important to memorize the content of your speech in advance so that you can deliver your greeting without looking at the manuscript. Also, do not forget to give a silent bow to the bereaved family and attendees before you begin your greeting.
