Eulogy Guidance

Eulogy Guidance - Welcome

Welcome to our collection of eulogy guidance, tips and examples, which is mainly based on our own experiences.
Just to make it quite clear, the examples presented here are not intended as a representation of how a close family friend or relative of the deceased should write or present a eulogy speech, they were written by a funeral director/officiant for people we mainly never knew, which means they are somewhat generic in places.
They are as described, simply "examples".

If you have volunteered for the honour or have been asked to deliver a eulogy speech for the first time then we hope you will discover some useful information here, information perhaps that will go some way towards helping you in your present quest.
Good Luck.

This is an occasional random reading that may be suitable for a eulogy speech

Remember Me

Remember Me - David Harkins - A Popular Funeral Reading

Do not shed tears when I have gone but smile instead because I have lived.
Do not shut your eyes and pray to God that I'll come back but open your eyes and see all that I have left behind.
I know your heart will be empty because you cannot see me but still I want you to be full of the love we shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live only for yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of what happened between us yesterday.
You can remember me and grieve that I have gone or you can cherish my memory and let it live on.
You can cry and lose yourself, become distraught and turn your back on the world or you can do what I want - smile, wipe away the tears, learn to love again and go on.
