In some cases, the audience is already informed that the character isn't really dead, having seen them survive whatever event should've killed them. This may trigger various responses from the audience once the Eulogy starts, and runs a high risk of turning it into {{Narm}}. Even more so if the Premature Eulogy is a set-up for a ClipShow.

** Played with, for laughs, in the episode "The Schizoid Man", where Dr. Ira Graves gives one to ''himself''. He had implanted his personality into Data prior to the death of his body, and then later gave himself a long-winded eulogy that only he could take seriously - praising his own deeds and personality in his extremely narcissistic manner. This is an extremely rare case of a Premature Eulogy being given to a villain.

Added DiffLines:

* [[FallenPrincess Ange]] from ''Anime/CrossAnge'' spends her part of Episode 22 lamenting her LoveInterest [[BadassNormal Tusk]] and going over how selfless and brave he was. In the previous episode, he seemingly died to stop [[BigBad Embryo]] from capturing her again, and Ange is in a massive HeroicBSOD as she asks herself why he would care about her, why he would love [[{{Tsundere}} someone as harsh and violent as she was]]. She caps it off with [[LoveConfession finally admitting to herself that she loved Tusk]] and, that if she had known he'd die protecting her, she would've gone all the way with him. Right as she's saying the last part, ''[[NotQuiteDead Tusk himself]]'' hugs her from behind and expresses his relief that Ange is safe, completely blindsiding the crying Ange. This is followed by Ange making good on her promise, as she's desperate to make sure that Tusk is really there and not some illusion created by Embryo to screw with her. TheirFirstTime [[Sandbox/GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex is one of the few scenes of truly emotional and loving sex in the show.]]

* ''Literature/TheMermaidChronicles'': In ''Secrets of the Deep'', Cordelia's surfer friend Trent Summers is "killed" in a "shark attack" during which he was actually forcibly transformed into a selachii, or shark person. The only people who know the truth are Cordelia, Maya, and Wade. At Trent's funeral, his father gives a short eulogy, and many people who knew him tell anecdotes about his life. [[spoiler:At the end of the book, most of the selachii gain the ability to walk on land, and Trent is reunited with his family.]]
