Glueckert Funeral Home, Ltd.1520 N. Arlington Heights Road Arlington Heights, IL 60004 (847) 253-0168 Tips On Writing A Eulogy
There is no right or wrong way to write a eulogy, each eulogy is as unique as the person being remembered. In essence you are telling your story about a loved one.
The following should help you start your eulogy: · Think of the major moments in their life, whether it was at home, or work, with others or alone · Think of the small characteristics that made them unique · When were they at their best, what made them happy? · What did you and others love or admire about them? · What will you and others miss most about them? General tips on writing and delivering eulogies: · Be honest and focus on the person’s positive qualities · Keep it brief and concise; lengthy eulogies often wander and lose impact · Humor is acceptable, if it fits the personality of the deceased · Put the eulogy on paper, at least in outline form, and write in large letters First just write down your unrelated thoughts, then organize them into a draft, then refine into your final outline. |
