Words of Flattery

Words of praise and compliments.

(“They do not recite elegies or lamentations for them, nor do they say the mourners’ blessing or words of consolation for mourners; rather, they say ‘words.’ What are these ‘words’? The Rabbis say: praises—meaning, they praise the deceased and recount his virtues according to what he was. And some interpret ‘praises’ as referring to the Holy One, blessed be He, who causes death and grants life” (Torat HaAdam, Gate of Mourning, the matter of report and gathering of bones).)
