What it does
You have a service in a few days and a cursor blinking at you. You don't need another prompt — you need help writing a eulogy that already knows what the speech is supposed to do, in what order, for which relationship, at what length. Drop in your bullets about who they were, the story or two you remember most, and how you're connected. The skill returns a 4-5 minute eulogy in your voice, built only from what you actually knew about them.
The skill ships with five bundled references it consults silently: a structure-and-pacing guide that maps the right eulogy shape for an adult child, spouse, sibling, friend, or grieving parent; a graveside-remarks guide for the committal moment; delivery coaching so you know how to physically stand at the podium and get through it; a banned-platitudes filter that catches lines like 'heart of gold' and 'lit up every room' before they land in your draft; and a hard-cases reference for estrangement, addiction eulogy framing, suicide remarks, and abuse — because those losses deserve honest writing, not greeting-card warmth.
It never invents facts about the person you lost. Your bullets are the only source. If you signal a complicated loss upfront, the skill loads the hard-cases guide before writing a single word — a bad eulogy for a hard loss is worse than no help at all.
Frequently asked
How do I write a eulogy for someone I had a complicated relationship with?
Tell the skill that upfront — words like 'estranged,' 'addiction,' 'suicide,' or 'we hadn't spoken' trigger the bundled hard-cases guide before any drafting. You'll get an honest, restrained eulogy that acknowledges the difficulty without disclosing more than you want to say in public, or settling scores from the podium.
How long should a eulogy be at a funeral?
The skill defaults to 4-5 minutes (520-650 words at podium pace), which is the sweet spot for the main eulogy. It also outputs separate 60-90 second graveside remarks — different genre, not a compressed eulogy — and adjusts shorter for very-short-notice services or parent-eulogizing-child cases.
Will this just output a generic eulogy template with their name swapped in?
No. It uses only what you give it — your specific stories, your relationship, your details. If you mention the canoe he built or the three sweaters she always wore, those are in the speech. The bundled banned-platitudes list actively filters phrases like 'heart of gold,' 'gone too soon,' and 'fought a brave battle' out of your draft.
Does it write the graveside committal remarks and condolence cards too, or only the main eulogy?
All three, every time: main eulogy (4-5 minutes), separate graveside / committal remarks (60-90 seconds, different genre), and a condolence-card message you can adapt to mutual friends. Plus printable HTML at 16pt and plain text you can paste into your phone.
Can't I just ask Claude to write a eulogy myself without buying this?
You can, the same way you can ask for directions without traffic data. What you get here is the relationship-specific structure logic, the hard-cases sensitivity layer, the platitude filter, the timing math (130 words per minute at the podium), and delivery coaching — already loaded, so you don't have to prompt-engineer any of it while you're grieving.
