You may find the style of writing will not be to your own particular taste, but they will give you an idea of how some different types of tributes are structured. Just to make it quite clear, these examples 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 which we hope will help you in your present quest. Please feel free to use these in any way you like, you may find it useful to pull out certain key words and phrases which you can then build around, you may also find that you can use whole paragraphs with just some minor alterations and adjustments. Whatever you do though, it is vital that you use only words and phrases etc that will be recognisable as appropriate for the deceased, otherwise your eulogy speech will sound contrived and false.

Currently this collection has several of our own eulogy examples, plus one which is an example for the novice funeral officiant and is a complete semi religious cremation service which also includes the eulogy. We will be adding more of our own speeches in the near future and others from various different alternative sources.

Writing a funeral speech is difficult work, and while i don't wish it on anyone i'm sharing this for those with that chore before them. I gave this on the day before my 28 th birthday, during the kind of snowstorm that keeps all but funeral goers off the road.

Only half an hour before the service was due to start, the car was nose first in a ditch. Knowing that i might be reading this speech through tears, i printed the thing in large type. Perhaps our little car crash sharpened my focus, because i was not overcome as the other speakers were. I'm not sure that these were the things i wanted to say, or that they'd be the things i'd say tomorrow if i had to. But that's the hell of funeral speeches, you can't plan them ahead of time, or write them after you've gotten used to the deceased's passing. His adventurous attitude, his broad range of interests, and his happy demeanor made him a wonderful person to know. He always took an interest in the people he met: there were few people he wouldn't engage at any time or place.

I introduced him to many of my friends over the years, and they always told me how interesting he'd been. My grandfather pursued his many endeavors diligently, and always rose to meet a challenge. He especially had a great perspective when it came to the little things, never displaying anger or impatience. With a few wry words, my grandfather could be far more damning than most people could achieve with any strong language.

I'll miss the news of his strange adventures, and i'll miss the stories from the seven continents he visited i'll miss the tales of evil two year old grandchildren about his old friends and his 'child bride'. But then, there was no need to mention things like the man's constant criticism or his refusal to stop driving though he'd begun to drift off behind the wheel. And there was one item that i really should have mentioned though it might have been difficult for the audience. As a doctor, my grandfather spent his career pushing his patients to come clean with their loved ones whenever he had to tell those patients that they were at the end of their life. But my grandfather never did this with us, he just kept it to himself for at least two years, puttering around the house labeling items according to whom he intended to leave them following his death. I mention this now because it's been more than a decade since i gave this speech, and it's only now that i realize that i had a chance to send an important message to my grandfather's colleagues. This was the only chance i'd ever have in my life to speak before a room full of doctors about an important matter.

But i guess that's expecting too much for a young man giving his first funeral speech. I'll leave it to anyone who finds this page to consider the matter if they're crafting a speech of their own.
