$50 · Obituary and Eulogy Writing/Editing

At what is often the most difficult time in a person’s life, the last thing they can bring themselves to do is to creatively express all the ways their recently departed loved one left a lasting impact on those around them. When a person is in shock, or experiencing another stage of the grieving process, they need care and support in the various tasks needed to lay their loved one to rest while commemorating their life in a loving, thoughtful way. Seeking the support of a professional obituary and eulogy writer and editor can put the minds of those who are grieving at ease, knowing they have one less thing to worry about and that their loved one will be commemorated as they richly deserve. With many families opting for cremation or burials without a funeral or memorial service, a high quality obituary is a meaningful, cost-effective way to memorialize a loved one. The fee for this service is $50 per hour, and includes any time spent meeting with the family, reviewing any submitted documents or photos, and writing the obituary or eulogy. If family members would prefer to write the obituary or eulogy themselves (or with the help of an AI service), these can be reviewed and edited for publication (obituary) or edited to ensure they will read well out loud with the inclusion of additional punctuation for natural breaks in the verbal presentation (eulogy). Simple obituaries can typically be written in one hour if all information is provided by email and no in-person meeting is required by the family. Simple copy editing of a pre-written obituary, for publication, can also typically be done in one hour. Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to supporting you in crafting a thoughtful, meaningful legacy for your departed loved one.
