THE EULOGY
Being asked to write a eulogy for a funeral can be a difficult task to contemplate.
We hope the following points can assist in making this task easier.
- Location and date of birth
- Family name/nickname
- Names of family members, daughters married names, grandchildren and great grandchildren
- Siblings
- Early childhood memories
- Scholastic achievements
- Military Service
- Employment achievements
- Sporting interests and/or achievements
- Details of historical significance
- Hobbies
- Humorous stories
- Special readings, poetry or music
Remember to keep your Eulogy short. Three minutes is a good guideline for time. It is a good idea to have 2 copies and a back-up person should you find it too hard to continue. It is also a good idea to increase the size of the type so it is very easy to read.
The Eulogy does not have to be read by a family member. Your Minister or Celebrant will always include the Eulogy in their Service if you so wish.
Our arrangers are available 7 days a week to meet with you at your home or at our offices and you can contact us by phone 24 hours a day.
