I will write a heartfelt eulogy or memorial tribute speech

Being asked to speak at a funeral or memorial is an honour and also, often, more than anyone can manage alone in the middle of grief. This gig exists for exactly that moment.

Tell me about them: who they were, the stories that come to mind first, the things you'd want a room full of people to understand. I'll ask a few gentle, specific questions, then write a eulogy that sounds like it came from you not a template pulled from a search result.

How long should it be? Crematoria and churches usually give a set slot often 5 to 10 minutes for one main speaker. If you've been told a time limit, tell me that number and I'll write to it. If you haven't, up to 5 minutes suits most services, and up to 10 minutes gives more room when you're the only one speaking.

Every draft comes back to you to read over, and revisions are included so it's genuinely ready before the day not just good enough.

What I'll need from you

• Their name and your relationship to them
• Any time limit you've been given by the venue, celebrant, or officiant
• A few specific memories, stories, or qualities you want included
• The tone you're after warm, funny, formal, a mix or leave it to me
