3 Quick Tips for a Memorable Eulogy 1. Feel good about helping 2. Know your subject 3. Make it personal A eulogy is one of the most emotionally draining and difficult speeches to give. I know that when I volunteered to give the eulogy when my father-in-law died other family members were relieved. While I speak often, that eulogy proved to be the most difficult, and rewarding, speech of my life. Here are some tips that may be helpful to anyone who volunteers for this honor. Feel good about helping You are doing a good deed. Feel good about it. Bringing words of comfort and joy can be very challenging, but it can also be a rewarding and learning experience for you. If you do a good job with the eulogy, you will provide comfort for family members and friends. You will recall the loved one's qualities and share experiences. Lastly, you will inspire the audience by celebrating a good life. A good eulogy will be remembered for years. Know your subject It is important to know certain things about the person who died. Know the circumstances of their death. Know what close family and friends will be present so they may be mentioned. Know the person's finest qualities (everyone has some) to stress. Completely ignore flaws and problems. Never say things like "Sure Hank liked to have a few, but he was a loving man". People who knew him were well aware of that, so leave out the negative and focus on the positive. What were his finest qualities? What were his major accomplishments? Look for the best, and continue to focus on that. Make it personal Personal stories warm the heart. Tell several of them that involve family members and friends. For my father-in-law's eulogy, I informally asked friends and family what they had learned from Bob. In return, I received many wonderful stories that became the core of the eulogy. One grandson told me he learned how to hunt deer. Another learned to catch bass. And his youngest grandson told me that Grandpa taught him how to sneak ice cream out of the refrigerator without Grandma finding out. These stories, and many other humorous ones, proved to be a very emotional and heartwarming tribute to a man who had a loving family and many friends. This eulogy was mixed with laughter and tears. Giving a eulogy is never easy. When asked to speak, accept the offer. Follow these tips and you will do a great job, have a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and provide comfort to all present. cheap papers
