A eulogy for your friend,
in your words.
Answer 8 careful questions. What comes back is built only from what you said — no jokes, no borrowed quotations, nothing invented.
The questions are the part that helps.
- 1
Who were they, to the people who knew them best?
There's no wrong answer here. Start anywhere.
- 2
Is there something physical you remember about them — their hands, their voice, the way they moved?
An odd question, and skip it if nothing comes. It's just that small details stay with people where descriptions don't.
- 3
Describe an ordinary day with them.
Not a birthday or a holiday — a Tuesday.
- 4
Was there something they always said?
A phrase, a piece of advice, a joke they wore out.
- 5
What did they teach you without meaning to?
…and 3 more, plus follow-ups when an answer has more in it than you gave.

4 minutes is the target for a for a friend. We count the words and tell you the spoken time before you commit to it.
What it costs
$24 once, after you've read a third of it. Cue cards, teleprompter and unlimited revisions are included, not upsold.
Who sees it
Nobody. It lives at a private link that keeps working, with or without an account.
Questions people ask
How long should a for a friend eulogy be?+
About 4 minutes — roughly 520 words. Shorter is almost always better. Nobody has ever wished a eulogy were longer, and a short one is far easier to get through.
Will it sound like me?+
It's assembled entirely from your own answers — your stories, your details, your phrasing. Nothing is invented. You can paste something you've written and it will match your rhythm.
What do I get for the price?+
The full speech, unlimited revisions, printable cue cards, a teleprompter with a pace timer, a night-before tips sheet, and a private link that keeps working. $24 once — there is no subscription.
Is it appropriate to use this for a eulogy?+
It doesn't write about someone it never met — it asks you, and arranges what you say. The questions are written for grief: what their hands looked like when they worked, what you'd want a stranger to understand. Many people find the questions are the useful part.
It saves as you go. Nothing is charged until you've read a third of the speech.
