Memorable Words Eulogy Writing Services 

I understand how important it is you want to honour your loved one with a memorable eulogy at their funeral.

I also understand writing a funeral speech can be an overwhelming task if you don't know where to start.

But I can help you.

Being able to find the right words for you to say at the funeral is what I do. 

I know you are feeling you want to do the best you can. A deeply personal, authentic, and memorable funeral speech is perhaps the last gift you can give. No wonder it can feel almost impossible to find the right words. 

Amid the sadness and loss, trying to find the words to say are heartbreakingly difficult. The emotions and gratefulness you feel inside, is struggling to find the perfect words outside. 

Eulogies are one of the most important parts of a funeral service, but they're also one of the most overlooked.

Not by you.

I'm sure that's what has made you search out my services on Google. The search led you to me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help.

Let me tell why and how.

Who Are Memorable Words Eulogy Writing Services?

My name is Peter Billingham. I've been a professional funeral celebrant for several years, writing and delivering over 700 eulogies.

I know through my vast experience what it takes to ask the right questions, research the best ideas to find the essence of a person. To capture the unique and special way, they were to you. 

Most of those hundreds of funerals were for people I didn't know and never met. Yet, because of the years experience I have writing and speaking the words, time and time again families tell me it's as if I had known their loved one for years. 

As a funeral speech writer with many years' experience of delivering memorable eulogies, I can do the same for you. 

What Is A Eulogy?

A eulogy is the speech given at the funeral, memorial service or ‘Celebration of Life’ service. A family member, a close friend, or acquaintance can deliver it. Or, someone like me, a celebrant.

The definition of a eulogy is often said to be, 'Good Words.' But I believe it is more about evoking a memory of who a person really was, their style, even the tone of voice, what it was that made them, well, ‘them.’

The person delivering the eulogy usually recounts the life and character of the deceased person, and expresses the feelings of those who knew him or her. Making the words resonate with personality, even with humour when appropriate, is what makes it memorable rather than being a list of facts.  

How Are You Supposed To Know How To Write A Eulogy?

We never practice for the day we need to write and deliver a eulogy. 

Writing and delivering a eulogy is like running out to be goalkeeper at the F.A Soccer Cup Final, or playing quarterback in The Super Bowl and never have picked up a ball before!

You get one chance.

You are front and centre before your family, peers, or friends, and having the words and delivery skills to capture the essence of the person who has passed away with clarity, confidence, and care.

Bringing an accurate, authentic, and appropriate eulogy together is what I can do to help you.

How Do You Capture Someone's Life In Words?

We all have a mix of personality themes and character traits which make up who are. It’s the individual combination of these making us unique as a person.

To a certain degree, many personality themes and character traits are in us all. But some will be more recognisable and prominent than others. It’s these key themes we are looking to identify to make the speech memorable.

We want to first highlight all those most instantly recognisable, and then, narrowing them down, identify key themes. We then draw on stories, memories and thoughts to shape into words for the funeral.

How Do I Write A Eulogy?

It starts with a detailed list of questions. Finding out what made the person original, exceptional, and the circumstances of their life.

Depending on which eulogy service you chose, you can either send the answers back to me by email or we can chat by phone or video call. I then compile a first draft, which we can edit together until we get the words just right.  

How Much Does The Eulogy Writing Cost?

Our packages depend on how long the speech needs to be, and whether we communicate via email or by conversations. You can find the list of packages here. 

What Makes Memorable Words Eulogy Writing Services Different?

Simply, I spend my days not only writing eulogies, but delivering words myself at funerals.

This sets me apart from many funeral speechwriters.

It's one thing writing, it's another thing all together making those words feel right to be spoken. Getting a cadence and rhythm so the words flow.

I understand how important getting the tone and timing right in delivery is as important as the words. That’s why the final version will be laid out specifically to help you rehearse and then with confidence speak on the day.  

Why Hire A Professional Eulogy Speechwriter?

Because it can take away the stress, worry, and uncertainty of honouring your family member or friend with a beautiful, well-written eulogy.

Most people tell me it brings with it a sense of relief.

What Are The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Eulogy Writer?

We get to talk about your loved one, and your relationship, in return, you'll find peace of mind amid the chaos and receive a quality, heartfelt eulogy speech at an affordable price. It’s one less thing for you to worry about.
