Eulogy Guide

A eulogy is a speech made during a funeral service which is about the person who has passed away and is often a very important and memorable moment during the funeral. A eulogy can be made up of personal anecdotes, stories, favourite sayings and idiosyncrasies, or a combination of all these.

The eulogy may be delivered by the Minister, Priest or Celebrant of the service or by a family member or friend. Public speaking is always a difficult task and coupled with the emotion of a funeral service of a loved one can make a eulogy very difficult and challenging to deliver.
