How to write a eulogy without falling apart βοΈπ
by Steve Pritchard-Jones
One of the things families say to me most often is:
βI donβt know how Iβm going to write this.β
Please hear this first β you donβt have to. π€
A eulogy isnβt meant to be perfect. Itβs simply the story of someone you love.
If you do want to make a start, donβt write sentences. Just jot down:
β’ what they loved π
β’ their favourite sayings π¬
β’ what made people laugh π
β’ their career and proud moments π§°π
β’ who they married and how they met π
β’ their children and grandchildren π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
β’ favourite holiday destinations πβοΈ
β’ any military service ποΈ
β’ whether they volunteered π€
β’ community groups they belonged to (Freemasons, Rotary, Round Table, etc.) ποΈ
β’ the sports team they supported β½π
β’ favourite meals and drinks π½οΈβ
β’ what youβll miss most ππ
Thatβs more than enough.
And hereβs the important partβ¦
I always meet with the family a few weeks before the service. We sit together and talk properly about the person youβve lost. From that conversation, I can write the eulogy for you using your memories and your words.
If youβd rather I read it on the day, thatβs absolutely fine too. π€
You donβt have to carry this on your own.
Iβm here to help, guide, and support you every step of the way. π€β¨
