The Eulogy

What is a Eulogy?

A eulogy is a speech delivered in honor of a deceased person. The eulogy speech is often spoken during their funeral and provides some kind of honor to their life. There may be two or more eulogies spoken at the funeral by people who knew the deceased well. The speaker delivering the eulogy may provide a personal tale about their connection to the person being honored, discuss that person’s accomplishments, or just share recollections.

Writing a eulogy can be an emotional experience, but it is an important part of honoring and remembering a loved one. Here are some tips to help you write a meaningful eulogy:

  1. Brainstorm: Start by writing down memories of the person, both big and small. Consider their personality, their interests, and any special memories you have of them.
  2. Research: Research the person’s life and accomplishments. Talk to other people who knew them and look through old photographs and documents. Collect as much information as possible to help you create a comprehensive eulogy.
  3. Write: Begin your eulogy by introducing the person. Include their name, birth date, and a few major accomplishments. You can also include a favorite quote or a funny story about the person.
  4. Focus on the Positive: Remember to focus on the positive things about the person. Highlight their accomplishments and the positive impact they had on the lives of others.
  5. Include Personal Experiences: Include stories of your personal experiences with the person, and how they made you feel. Focus on how much they meant to you and how much you will miss them.
  6. End with a Poem or Quote: Finish your eulogy with a meaningful poem or quote about life, death, and love. This will provide a fitting end to your eulogy and help to honor the person’s life.
 

Writing a eulogy can be a difficult task, but it is an important part of honoring and remembering a loved one. By following these tips and utilizing the research and memories you have, you can create a meaningful eulogy that honors the life of your loved one.
