Speeches & Eulogies

Speeches & Eulogies: the support you need to craft a personal, meaningful tribute for that very special occasion

Speeches & Eulogies We all know just how much a great speech or a heartfelt eulogy can add to a very special ceremony.

A fabulous wedding speech or a eulogy to remember?

We've all watched the best man who pitches it just right and has the whole room rocking, the dad who, with his beautiful words, has us weeping into our champagne and the groom, a bit nervous, who shows us just how much he loves his fabulous partner with the words he’s chosen and the heartfelt way they are delivered.

But I’m sure we’ve also seen the reverse! Have you ever felt those nerves and doubts as someone stands to deliver their speech because you know it’s so easy to get it wrong? We die a little inside – we know how nervous they are and we are willing them to do well – but for some, it’s just too much and the moment is spoiled.

With our speeches & eulogies we want so much to do our loved-one proud on the day, but it's so easy for our emotions to take over and we worry we might stumble and ruin the moment.

Well, don’t let that happen to you!

Speak clearly, if you speak at all. Carve every word before you let it fall.

Support in writing your speech or eulogy

So many people are nervous of speaking in public, even (and sometimes especially) in front of friends and family. Why? Because there is no escape!

This ceremony will be remembered for a long time to come and you won’t want to get it wrong and be remembered for all of the wrong reasons. The fear can be overwhelming! And it’s a justified fear – so many of us don’t have a lot of experience of speaking in public and worry that we won't perform well.

Conquer those fears and learn how to conquer those nerves!

I can offer you support in writing your speech or eulogy and also how to deliver it with confidence!

Testimonials

I attended a funeral conducted by Susan McGregor recently. All aspects of what Susan did were first class. The way she described the deceased and how she knitted the different parts of his life together was excellent. Her delivery was also excellent. Her voice, her accent and tone really made the occasion for me, it was a pleasure listening to her. I would recommend Susan as a celebrant to anyone who wants a superbly written, bespoke ceremony delivered by a professional in a compassionate way.
