Speaker of Life

Speaker of Life

As a professional celebrant, I have the distinct privilege of guiding families through one of life's most profound moments – saying farewell to a loved one.

My Speaker of Life services provide a fitting tribute to your loved one whilst relieving the stress of public speaking for you at a time of immense grief.

Speaker of Life Ceremonies

You want to give your loved one the best send off possible, and that includes saying a few words at the ceremony on behalf of yourself and your family.

But you don't feel you are a confident speaker, you are worried that you will be too upset to speak during the ceremony, or that emotion will overcome you and you won't deliver a eulogy to the best of your abilities.

This is where I can help.

As a Speaker of Life, I can do two things for you:

  • Deliver a eulogy on your behalf
  • Write a eulogy for your loved one on your behalf

Deliver a Eulogy on Your Behalf

If you are not a confident public speaker, or you feel too upset to deliver your loved one's eulogy, I can do it for you.

As an experienced public speaker, and an experienced celebrant, I can deliver a tribute to your loved one on your behalf during the funeral ceremony.

This can take place as part of a funeral ceremony wherever you have chosen to have the funeral.

It can happen as part of a church mass delivered by a priest, and is not confined to non-religious or Humanist funerals.

The advantages of asking me to speak about your loved one are:

  • It takes pressure away from you during a time of great grief and sadness
  • Your loved one's eulogy is delivered by an experienced public speaker
  • You get to write the eulogy if you wish
  • If you prefer, I can write the eulogy using your own words or with contributions from you

The result is a tribute to your loved one, based on what you would like said, approved by you, and delivered by a professional speaker.

Write a Eulogy on Your Behalf

Whatever type of funeral ceremony you decide to have - church mass, celebrant-led, a ceremony in a funeral home - I will write the eulogy (or tribute) to your loved one.

I will meet with you to discuss your loved one's life and what elements you wish to include in the eulogy.

I will then write the eulogy, approved by you, for delivery at the funeral ceremony.

This eulogy can be delivered:

  • as part of a church funeral mass
  • as part of a non-religious funeral ceremony

The eulogy can be delivered:

  • by you
  • by a representative of your family
  • by me
