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.
