Why I don't like the word 'Eulogy'

Written By Fiona Garrivan

This may be an unpopular opinion but I don't like using the word eulogy. It gives the impression of a formal tone, which can lead people to focus on listing accomplishments or events, like they’re reciting a CV. Instead, a more personal and heartfelt approach to storytelling captures the essence of a person's life, sharing their quirks, relationships, and memorable moments. It’s about conveying who they truly were, not just what they did.
