When someone finds the exact words that capture a universal feeling, like sadness or grief, or the painful feeling of missing someone we love who’s died, it brings us a senese of comfort and a feeling that we aren’t alone. Feeling connected during grief is essential to the healing process. Below are some quotes that are helpful on a personal level just in the comfort they bring to you in reading them. Others are valuable for sharing with others such as in your funeral service or eulogy or funeral speech.
What is a Professional Eulogy?
A professional eulogy (also referred to as a funeral speech) is a speech written for someone who’s died, or in some cases preparing to die, with the intent of honoring their life and comforting their loved ones. Eulogies are often delivered at funerals or memorial services by family members, friends, clergy members or funeral directors. There can be one, or sometimes several eulogies shared, depending on the family’s wishes.
