Creating a eulogy and obituary to capture the essence of a loved one who has passed away can be a test of courage. You want those hearing the portrayal to feel it honors the deceased’s life and legacy. At Abriola Parkview Funeral Home in Trumbull, CT, we understand the significance of penning such an important remembrance. It’s one of the reasons why families have relied on our customized and compassionate funeral services since 1906.

If you’ve been selected to write the eulogy and obituary, there are a few suggestions we would like to offer. For starters, talk to family, friends, and others to get a wide range of information about the deceased, like their interests, accomplishments, and relationships.

Then, write a first draft based on what you’ve collected. An outline can help guide your thoughts, and if you need further assistance, we can help. Our supportive team of funeral planning service specialists will give you previously written eulogies and obituaries to use as inspiration.

eulogies and obituariesOnce you’ve completed the draft, feel free to put it aside for a while and then go back later to make any revisions. Read it out loud so you can hear how it sounds and flows. If you need an additional opinion, our caring grief counseling specialists are available to listen to the eulogy before the funeral service. Practice reading it enough to the point where you feel comfortable

Finally, depending on how you and the others involved feel, don’t be afraid to use a little humor. When respectfully delivered, sharing a fun memory can bring smiles to everyone in attendance. Above all, don’t be ashamed of expressing emotions while reading the eulogy. Everyone present will understand.
