Writing a eulogy for your father

- —Name what he taught you. Fathers are often remembered for the example they set, not the speeches they gave.
- —It's okay to be funny. A father's humor is part of his legacy.

Common questions
What should I say in a eulogy for my father?
Start with who he was in a few honest words, share one or two specific memories that show his character, name the lessons or values he passed on, and close with what you'll carry forward. Specific beats grand — a real story about your dad will move the room more than any quotation.
How long should a eulogy for a father be?
Most eulogies run 3 to 5 minutes spoken, which is roughly 500 to 750 words. It's better to be a little short and heartfelt than long and wandering.
