The thing about funerals is that it is part of the pastor's job to do them. There are many pastors and/or priests who have three or so fill-in-the-blank funeral sermons that they just alternate on because it can take some work actually learning the various relevant details of the deceased's life. I think the tip makes sense for preachers because they are the difference between a superficial funeral service and a relevant one.
