There is sadness and loss at Funeral and Memorial Services, because someone loved has passed.
There can also be a celebration of a life lived. Of the joy they brought, of the achievements and the relationships. There can be points in the Service where there is a time to smile and even laugh. There can be funny memories, quirky habits or perhaps they had a good sense of humor or enjoyed playing jokes ....
Sometimes using humor to explore just "who this person really was" can really celebrate their life and create a very memorable occasion that honors their life. It can be a funny story, an anecdote, a quote, even foibles. There will be many attending who will connect and relate and smile and maybe even laugh, maybe loud!
A life can be long and short. Any life has so much crammed in that it is a shame not to honor a life lived, at this special time. We are complex people with so many parts and a Eulogy can explore many. Humor is a good way to explore.
No problems. There are countless funny stories, jokes, quotes already available in books, magazines and the Internet. All you need to do is appropriately and respectfully adapt them.
I do mean any humor other than eulogy humor. A life lived is complex and full of living and in there are opportunities to find good stories and funny ways easily incorporated into this memorable occasion.
Now you can easily select appropriate humor in minutes, change, adapt and adjust the humor and create a Eulogy that will be well regarded and appreciated by all who are there, easily, regardless of how good a speaker you are, regardless of who is in your audience, or where you are giving your Eulogy.
Regardless of whether you are giving a Eulogy, or you are talking to family and friends before or after a Service, humor will help celebrate this memorable occasion and make this time easier.
This Quick Guide eBook can show you how.
Written from my personal experience of presenting at all sorts of speaking occasions and from Eulogies I have given.
Everything is tested and proven.
Whether you think you are a good speaker or not, humor will really help your Eulogy. In fact, regardless of how well you think you speak, humor will create a very memorable and successful celebration of an important life.
I have witnessed people who stumble over their words, but with a sprinkling of humor, they have an enormous impact on the entire celebration as the smiles and laughter create a connecting atmosphere and builds relationships between everyone present.
Humor helps even when just talking before and after the Service.
Humor can make the difference!

A Very Special Secret
PLUS there is a very special secret that will be invaluable EVERY time to speak from now on and especially on this occasion.
I often get comments from
my readers who have just given a EULOGY about how they wished
their WORDS had been - more humorous, more relevant for those who had
gathered, more engaging, better written .... and the list goes on.
A
tiny bit of thinking before you give your Eulogy will better place you to feel assured of your words and you will be WELL
REWARDED. You will be rewarded even if your speech is to be given
today.
Don't go to all the expense and trouble of creating a eulogy and then when it's over say to yourself, "If only I had thought of THAT".

every detail, I do promise it will help you to cover the bases by giving
you the absolute best start to adding humor in the best way possible, respectfully.
In fact there is nothing else
anywhere that can assist you with selecting and using appropriate humor
in a eulogy and then how to deliver it, that has been written straight from the author's
experience like this Quick Guide.
Created from the experience of actually writing and delivering numerous speeches and eulogies for many different settings for family and friends and in the workplace as a Team Leader, Manager and Director, and for family and friends over many years. I have had weeks to get ready sometimes and on several occasions, just minutes, when the boss was detained or away.
I was asked because I was able to give a speech which honored the person or the occasion, and was spoken with humor. People laughed and enjoyed my words, as they often commented to me afterwards.
These ideas work!
They certainly do!
These ideas are tested and proven with many different and varied audiences over many years.
