Eulogy Worksheet
A Eulogy is a "word picture" of a deceased Soul's life here on Earth. A Eulogy can be written and given by one person, or it can be a "shared Eulogy" between two people. In a shared Eulogy two people can work together to cover different aspects of the loved one's life. Typically, a Eulogy may last anywhere from 5-20 minutes.
In times of grief, the bereaved may seek additional Eulogy support from a Reverend or Celebrant. Rev. Lee's empathetic connection with families allows her to assist the family in highlighting the most essential and memorable moments of the departed's life; additionally providing not only Eulogy support, but also a warm and comforting environment for the grieving process.
