  • A practical, light‑hearted workshop that teaches you how to write and deliver a meaningful, engaging eulogy or tribute in under five minutes using clarity, compassion and even humour.

    Let’s be honest... eulogies can be deeply moving, or they can feel a little… long.

    This workshop offers a gentle, practical and even uplifting space to learn how to write and deliver a meaningful eulogy or tribute that truly honours a life, without the pressure or panic that often comes with the task.

    In this informative and engaging session, we’ll break down something many people don’t think about until they have no choice and show you that it can be done with clarity, confidence and heart.

    Together, we’ll explore:

    • How to write and deliver an engaging eulogy or tribute in under five minutes
    • The key differences between a eulogy and a tribute, and when each is appropriate
    • What to include—and just as importantly, what to leave out
    • How to respectfully acknowledge difficult or complex life events
    • When and how humour can be used to create warmth and connection


    Bring your curiosity, your questions and a sense of humour.
    You’ll leave feeling more prepared, more confident and surprisingly at ease with something most people avoid until it matters most.


    This workshop is designed for members of the community who want to feel better equipped for life’s tender moments—whether you’re planning ahead, supporting someone else, or simply wanting to understand how to honour a life well.

    This event is for 18+ participants.


    Places are limited to ensure a supportive, respectful and comfortable environment. This is not a grief support session, but a practical, compassionate space for learning, reflection and confidence building.

    Facilitated by Heartfelt Celebrancy.
