Eulogies
Heartfelt with Humor
Having to write and deliver your own speech about someone you loved who has passed away can be stressful, challenging and emotionally draining. As an Emmy Award-winning writer, I can help you compose the perfect eulogy — in your voice. With years of eulogy-writing experience, I have the unique talent to not just create a eulogy that’s heartfelt, but also contains the perfect mix of smiles and humor. For the family and friends who hear it, the eulogy you deliver — just like the loved one you’ve lost — will be remembered forever.
I’m a nationally known writer whose speeches have reached an audience of millions through my television work, corporate speeches and personal monologues for celebrities, politicians and business leaders. That’s why I’m uniquely qualified to draw upon your personal stories and words in order to create the most memorable eulogy that sounds like something ONLY YOU could have written.
As reflected in the Testimonials below, for the family and friends who hear it, the eulogy you deliver — just like the loved one you’ve lost — will be remembered forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire me?
Because I’m an Emmy Award-winning writer who specializes in writing for other people’s voices, not my own. Even though I’m writing the eulogy, it will feel and sound like your words, your voice, your sense of humor. Unlike traditional cookie cutter eulogies, this one will illicit heartfelt laughter as well as tears.
Testimonials
Laughs and tears. Just what we wanted. And the priest said it was the best eulogy he had ever heard, which says a lot. I couldn’t have done it without you, Hugh. Thank you for all that you do. You helped make the service extra special.

When my Mom passed there was so much to do and a million decisions to make. I really wanted the eulogy to be special, but there was so little time.. Hugh was able to help put all my ideas together and wrote a beautiful eulogy for my Mom that captured everything I wanted to say. He asked me great questions. What Hugh wrote was really my words and what I wanted to say, but organized and presented beautifully.

My husband died unexpectedly, and it was beyond devastating. The last thing I wanted to do was write a eulogy. Hugh wrote something that miraculously reflected my voice, my stories, my quirky sense of humor. It didn’t just capture loving memories in a powerful way. Hugh’s eulogy was the ultimate celebration of my husband’s life.

Hugh, I wanted to let you know how much everyone loved the speech I gave today at my stepmother’s Memorial. Many people came up to me to tell me so. They especially appreciated the funny stories about her that you were able to include. Thank you again for your help in shaping, adding to and improving this speech.
