- This aspect of human verbal interaction varies greatly depending on the context, culture, religion, ideology, and so on. People who have just met may call each other friends, while those who have known each other for many years and have gone through many interactions may simply call each other by name. If the word "friend" bothers you, it is perfectly acceptable to replace it with the name of the deceased. The meaning will not change, but in this area, it will look worse from the outside, as the name is usually already indicated on the tombstone, and the repetition looks inappropriate from a stylistic point of view.
