Eulogy and Biography Writing

Every Life Is A Story Worth Telling: Creating A Timeless Legacy Of Your Life.

In the twilight of our lives, we find solace in knowing that our stories will be remembered and cherished by those we leave behind. At A Shropshire Ceremony, we specialise in crafting timeless eulogies and biographies that pay tribute to the rich tapestry of a lifetime.

Traditionally, when we die, family and friends eulogise us; usually, our loved ones take on the responsibility during the initial period of grief, whilst coming to terms with their loss and coping with various other arrangements. Losing a loved one can be an incredibly challenging experience and finding the right words to pay tribute to their life can be even more daunting. More people now opt for pre-arranged funeral plans, so it makes sense to consider preparing your own eulogy, too.

At A Shropshire Ceremony, we will work closely with you to ensure that you leave a lifetime of treasured memories that will become a gift spanning generations. We will assist you in preserving the history and heritage of your family with a professionally written eulogy or biography, celebrating the lineage, values and traditions that have shaped generations. Your memories, anecdotes and stories will be crafted into a personalised reflection of the moments that defined your life. Your eulogy will be more than just a speech; it will be a tribute to your legacy. This will be the last time your loved ones hear your 'voice' and, if you've never had the experience of hearing new words from someone who will never speak again, we can assure you: it's a gift.

Eulogies are usually around 2000 words, however, you may find that this simply isn't enough to honour your life's journey. For this reason, various options are available, including extended eulogies, and brief to more extensive biographies. Costs are upfront and inclusive of meetings, drafts and redrafts, edits, proofreading and final production. At all times, you can be assured of complete privacy and data security.

Our skilled and experienced writers will work together with you, creating a tangible legacy that will not just provide comfort to your loved ones during their time of grief, but also provide future generations with a sense of connection to their roots.
