How To Write a Eulogy

 

‘Bill Dalzell’

‘Dr. Colp’

 

A eulogy is not a Britannica entry, biographical sketch, or “performance review.”

Avoid negatives, but don’t make things up.

Talk from the vantage point of your personal experience with the subject.

Bring it to life with anecdotes. A eulogy is not a summary. The anecdotal material can be “episodic” and does need to be chronological.
