When a friend dies, you carry memories the family may never have heard. A eulogy is your chance to share the version of them that you knew.

Keep the family in mind

Your stories can be funny and honest, but choose ones the family will be glad to hear. If you're unsure about a story, ask a family member first.

A simple shape

  1. How you met, in one or two sentences.
  2. A story that shows what kind of friend they were.
  3. What they gave the people around them.
  4. A word to the family, then a goodbye.

Length

If several people are speaking, keep yours to about three minutes — roughly 400 words.
