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

They Are Not Dead

They Are Not Dead - Author Unknown - A Popular Funeral Reading

They are not dead,
Who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.

They still live in our hearts,
In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.

They still breathe,
In the lingering fragrance,windblown, from their favourite flowers.

They still smile in the moonlight's silver,
And laugh in the sunlight's sparking gold.

They still speak in the echoes of the words we've heard them say again and again.

They still move,
In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.

They are not dead;
Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.

They are not apart from us, but part of us,

For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity.
