Eulogies

Purpose

The eulogy or remembrance is the time to acknowledge and affirm the significance of the life lived. It is a time to share treasured memories, quotes, stories, or even your loved one’s favorite jokes.

Eulogies can be intermixed throughout the the service, however, for simplicity, we recommend these remembrances together in one section.

Ideas

Include multiple readings or have more than one speaker perform the eulogy

Eulogies or remembrances can be given by a single speaker or by multiple people. The speakers can be pre-selected or the celebrant can open the floor to anyone who wishes to speak, more spontaneously. We recommend 2-5 speakers selected in advance.

Use images or other visuals during the eulogy

Create a slide of images or a slideshow to accompany the eulogy or remembrance.
