There is probably no more difficult speech to write or
give than the eulogy. Eulogies work best when they are simple. They
should focus on the life of the deceased and be, if possible a
celebration of that life. It is worth collecting some anecdotes from
those who knew the deceased well. A little gentle humour goes a long
way and can be a great relief. Be sensitive to the deceased’s wishes
and to the place of the service. Try and steer away from overblown
sentiment and outpourings of grief. Aim for a genuine and heartfelt
appreciation of the life of the deceased. None of us are perfect and
now is not the time to settle scores. Ask yourself how you would wish
to be remembered.
