How To Write a Eulogy.

After the passing of a loved one and during his or her funeral service, a spouse, child or friend will most likely be responsible for delivering a eulogy. A eulogy is meant as a “sending off” message, which is given for the one who has passed. The eulogy is often written and included in the funeral program which is given to the guests attending the funeral as a keepsake.

At the same time, it may be an emotional experience having to prepare a eulogy while your deep and personal memories of your loved one are running through your mind.

There are several ways you may deliver a eulogy. These are all different styles and most often you should take into consideration the personality of the deceased when thinking which kind you would like to deliver. It could be humorous or somber, it can be brief or may go into more detail, it could be quite general or it could also be deeply personal. It doesn’t hurt to ask the family about the general “tone” of the service and prepare a eulogy accordingly. It is also advisable to think about giving a quick and common overview of what you plan to say in your eulogy to the clergy or family.

I eulogy will often contain an overview of the deceased’s life history, memories of the deceased with friends and family, their legacies as well as their personal achievements.
