About EulogyCraft

I wrote my first eulogy when I was 32. It was for my father.

It took me two full days. And somewhere in those two days, I realised what a eulogy really is. It's a chance to say the things that were never said. To remember what someone meant to you, to your family, to the room full of people who loved them. It's a chance to say goodbye. And, just for a few minutes, to have them in the room with you one last time.

I understood then how much that last chance matters.

After that, people around me started asking for help whenever loss came into their lives and they couldn't find the words on their own. It happened naturally, again and again. For the past ten years, I've been writing eulogies professionally.

When AI became good enough to work with real human language, I saw an opportunity. I wanted to build something that could take your memories, your words, the details only you would know, and shape them into a eulogy that sounds like you, not like a machine. That's why EulogyCraft exists.

I hope it makes an impossibly hard time even a little bit easier.

One thing I'd ask: if you want the eulogy to feel truly personal, give the questionnaire the details that matter. It doesn't have to be a lot. One or two memories is enough. But make them specific. The more detail you share, the more the eulogy will sound like it was written by someone who knew them.

AI is a remarkable tool, but it isn't perfect. When it has less to work with, it sometimes fills in the gaps on its own, and it won't always get those details right. That's why I'd encourage you to read all three versions carefully. You may find that one captures them perfectly, or that the best eulogy is a mix of two. That's also why each eulogy comes in both PDF and Word format. The PDFs are ready to print and read as they are. The Word files are there so you can edit, rewrite a line, or combine the best parts of different versions into one eulogy that feels exactly right.

If something feels off or doesn't sound like the person you knew, just change it. The eulogy is yours to shape. And if you need any help with that, email me. I'll make sure you're happy with what you have before you stand up to speak.
