A funeral speech, a eulogy, a few words
What a funeral speech needs
Some people call it a eulogy, some a tribute, some just “a few words”. It is the same job: three to five minutes about who they were, said out loud to people who knew them. It doesn’t need fine words. It needs a few true ones, in an order that works. These are the things we’ll ask you about.
Open with them, not the occasion
A saying, a habit, an image. Their own words put them in the room before anyone has been thanked for coming.
One story and two small things
The story that gets told every Christmas. What was in their pockets. How they took their tea.
Written for speaking
Short sentences, one idea each, in plain British English. You’ll be reading it with a tight throat.
A copy for the day
Large print, one breath to a line, the pauses marked. You, the celebrant or someone you trust can read from it.
If you’d rather write it yourself, our plain guide is free to read and there is a full example with notes. Both are linked at the foot of the page.
Why it sounds like them
We ask the way a good listener would
A eulogy is only as good as the memories in it. So this isn’t a form. Say they were stubborn and we’ll ask for a time they were. Tell us a story and we’ll ask what they said next. Those small true details are what the room will recognise.
Tap the microphone and say it the way you’d tell a friend. You may find you remember more out loud. If you’d rather type, type.
- You can see everything we’ve kept, at any time
- A few follow-up questions at most, and you can skip any of them
- Stop whenever you need to. It will be here when you come back
Nothing made up
Only what you told us
Every sentence of your eulogy has to come from something you said. The AI is told never to invent a name, a story or a fact, and a second check reads every draft against your answers before you see it.
And if two things you’ve told us don’t add up, a date or a number of years, we’ll check with you quietly, before anyone in the pews does the sum.
- Only what you tell us goes in. Nothing is made up
- Where something’s missing, it asks you
- You check every line before you use it
For the day itself
A copy made for reading aloud
Writing it is half the worry. Standing up and reading it is the other half. So every eulogy comes with a reading copy:
- One breath to a line, so you never run out of air mid-sentence
- Pauses marked: / for a beat, // to let a moment land
- Names in bold, so you can look up and find your place again
- Large, clear print that works through tears and without your glasses
Look up at the end of a line, not the middle. Nobody minds a pause.
The last page of our fictional sample. It prints on A4 at 18 point. Fold it in three and it fits an inside pocket.
How it works
Talk to us about them
Tap the microphone and talk, or type. We listen, and now and then ask a little more, the way a celebrant would at your kitchen table. About ten minutes. Skip whatever you like.
Read how it begins
Tell us where to send it, and read the opening straight away. If it doesn’t sound like them, add a detail and we’ll write it again, free.
Make it yours
The full eulogy is £39, paid once. Two rounds of changes are included: tell us everything you’d like different, we ask about anything unclear, then rewrite. Then print your reading copy.
An example
The Year Six trip to Blackpool. The children are ready, and the coach driver doesn’t turn up. Now, Mum had never driven anything bigger than a Fiesta. She drove the minibus. All the way to Blackpool. And by all accounts she sang the whole way there.
That was Mum. If a thing needed doing, she didn’t hold a meeting about it.
From a sample eulogy for “Dot”, written from a fictional set of answers so you can see what to expect. Theirs will be made of their own sayings and stories. Read all of it.
Paid once. No subscription.
The conversation and the opening are free. You only pay if you want the rest.

Plainly
How it’s written
Your eulogy is drafted by AI, working only from what you tell us. It’s told never to invent a name, a story or a fact, and a second check reads every draft against your answers. Where something’s missing, it asks you. You check every line before you use it.
We say so plainly because you ought to know, and because it’s why this costs £39, where a professional writer often charges two hundred pounds or more. The memories are yours. The shaping is ours. The final word is always yours.
- What it does
- Asks about them, the way a celebrant would. Drafts the eulogy from your answers. Checks the draft against them, line by line.
- What it never does
- Invent a name, a story or a fact. Pretend to be a person. Learn from what you tell it: your words are not used to train AI.
- Where your words are kept
- Encrypted, in the UK. The AI model that drafts from them runs in the EU, under a contract that forbids using your words for training.
- How long for
- Deleted 30 days after your last visit, or 30 days after the funeral date you gave us if that is later. You can delete everything sooner from your private link, or by emailing us. The details are in our privacy notice.
Questions people ask
Is a person writing this?
No. Your eulogy is drafted by AI, working only from what you tell us, and a second check reads every draft against your answers before you see it. You check every line before you use it. We say so plainly because you ought to know, and because it’s why this costs £39, where a professional writer often charges two hundred pounds or more.
How long does it take?
It should take about ten minutes to talk it through. The opening is ready about a minute later. Funerals are usually two or three weeks away, so there’s time to come back, add things and read it aloud. If yours is tomorrow, there’s still time.
Will it sound like me, or like a greetings card?
Like you. It’s written for speaking, in plain British English, using your own phrases wherever it can. We keep a list of funeral clichés it isn’t allowed to use.
What if it isn’t right?
Two rounds of changes are included. Put everything you’d like different in one go; we’ll ask about anything unclear, then rewrite, and show you exactly what changed. If it still isn’t right, email us within 14 days of paying and we’ll refund you in full. You don’t need to give a reason.
What if I cry?
Then you cry, and nobody minds. Every person in the room is on your side. The reading copy is printed large, one breath to a line, so you can stop, breathe and find your place again. Give a spare copy to someone who could finish it for you. You almost certainly won’t need them to.
Start with their name.
The rest will come. We’ll help.
