Question

Is it permissible to speak words of Torah at a eulogy when the eulogy is held in a room where the deceased is present?

Answer

Although it is forbidden to speak words of Torah in a room where the deceased is present, it is permitted if they are said in honor of the deceased. Therefore, care must be taken that the eulogy is delivered in honor of the deceased and not to showcase one's oratory skills and eloquence.
