How to Write and Deliver a Eulogy

Wednesday August 30, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Port Macquarie Library
32 Grant St
Port Macquarie, New South Wales 2444 Australia

A eulogy is a brief account of the milestones and achievements of the deceased’s life.

A eulogy or tribute can be a special part of a funeral, but where does one start with this important task?

Join us at Port Macquarie Library, Wednesday August 30th @ 6pm for a workshop on how to write and deliver a eulogy.

This workshop will answer questions such as:

  • What were your loved one’s six most noteworthy characteristics?
  • What did people love most about the person?
  • What was your loved one’s feelings about death and a possible life beyond this one.
  • They can be written in many different ways depending on the person and the circumstances.
  • They can be a delivered as a more formal speech which includes the person’s history, career and achievements.
  • They can be more personal through the sharing stories, memories and anecdotes.
  • Or, they can be a combination of these two styles.

This workshop will provide samples and written exercises to help the author of the Eulogy to write clear, concise and compelling memories.

Light supper provided
