I am writing / reading a eulogy for my grandmother do I refer to her by name or gran? Or does it vary depending on which context I'm talking?

I don't think that there is a right or a wrong way. Whatever feels more comfortable for you.

Sorry for your loss.

Go for what's most natural to you. In your position, I'd say Gran as it'd feel strange for me to refer to mine by her name x

I would do what feels natural to you - so you could start with eg "Lilly , my grandmother " & then just see what feels right to you . Good luck to you , I hope it goes well.

Both. Some of the audience knew her as Lily, some as Gran. Don’t forget the people to whom she was Boss, Mum, Mrs X etc..
