Write a eulogy for a coworker
We spend so much of our lives at work that the people beside us become a kind of family. Share who your colleague was — their craft, their kindness, the small things that made the office better — and we'll help you write a tribute that honors them.
Let's begin gently.
A few questions, in your own words. There are no wrong answers — we'll shape them into something worthy of them.
Writing a eulogy for your coworker
- —Speak to who they were beyond the job title — the coffee runs, the steady advice, the laugh down the hall.
- —Name what they were great at, and how they made the team and the work better.
- —Keep it warm and personal; this is a tribute to a person, not a performance review.

Common questions
What should I say in a eulogy for a coworker?
Honor both the professional and the person. Share a specific moment that shows their character — a kindness, a mentorship, a shared joke — and speak to the gap they leave on the team. Keep the tone warm and human, and avoid turning it into a list of accomplishments.
How do I give a eulogy for a colleague without being too formal?
Talk about them the way you'd talk about a friend, because that's often what a good colleague becomes. Use a real story instead of job titles, mention the small daily things you'll miss, and let genuine affection carry the speech.
