This is How Sons And Daughters Can Easily and Quickly Write Beautiful And Inspirational Eulogies For Their Moms And Dads…and how you can do same even if you are not good with words or simply don’t know where to start from
Is This The Best Gift Ever?
Billy Graham, one of the renowned preachers to have walked this earth made a very profound statement that the greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.
That’s very true because all the other gifts your parents gave you will fade sooner rather than later. But, the precious gift of faith is something that will forever enrich your life more than you can ever imagine.
If you had a mom or dad who impacted your life with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, then you are very blessed.
I know your life will never be the same without your mom or dad and I would like to express my deepest condolences on the passing of your godly and loving mom or dad.
But one thing is for sure. Those who truly die in the Lord Jesus Christ will have eternal rest in heaven.
By the way, if you need someone to talk in this distressing and painful moment, please send me a message and I will be very happy to send you very comforting words and passages from the scriptures. God bless you and be with you.
Here’s How to Begin on a High Note
I know for sure you are looking for the good words, ideas and phrases to help you write a beautiful tribute for your mom or dad.
Granted, not everyone is a good or a natural writer and it even gets worse when you have to put your thoughts and emotions together to craft a Christian eulogy for your dad or mom.
By the grace of God, I have been writing speeches for people all over the world and I am happy to share with you a few tips, ideas and examples to help you write a touching tribute that will praise, honor and bless your departed mom or dad, even if you hate writing or are not too sure how to begin.
Get Rid Of These Scaremongers So You Can Give A Speech Your Family And Friends Will Never Ever Forget
But first, please let’s consider this issue carefully as it prevents most speakers from pulling off a remarkable show.
You see, prior to any speaking performance, your mind will relay memories of incidents where you failed to live up to expectations and it will make you wonder if you really have what it takes to say something memorable.
In spite of your past experiences, you can make it because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Being a Christian, you have to let go off the past and soak yourself in prayer because it’s God who gives us the strength to carry on.
So, don’t worry about how you feel at the moment or what the nudging voices keep telling you.
Keep believing in the power of the Holy Ghost and God will imbue you with the strength to say what’s on your heart.

This Goldmine Has The Best And Ease-To-Use Ideas…Have You Ever Considered That?
Did you know there was an easy way to write a beautiful speech for your beloved mom or dad in an incredibly short amount of time?
Most people don’t know this but Christian eulogies for mom or dad examples are a goldmine because they contain so many ideas and phrases you can model your speech after.
Yet, most folks don’t know how to make the most out of it. So, we are going to look at a very good example and then we will review it afterward.
P.S This is for a dad but you can modify it for your mom.
Here we go:
''Some of you present today knew my Dad, Sam Joe, as family, dear friend and/or associate. Some have never met Dad and you are here in support of those who have had the privilege and honor of knowing him.
As a family, we had the honor, privilege, and blessing of knowing him as a husband, father, Dad, Pop, grandfather, YehYeh, GoongGoong, and great-grandfather, Bok-Goong. Together, we mourn.
Perhaps in the quiet moments, you’ve read Dad’s biography, written by his granddaughter Denise, who collected more information than could fit onto a single page.
You have heard three eulogies adding to the glimpses of this remarkably loving, giving, devoted, dedicated, thoughtful, God-loving man, whose love was expressed in manifold kind ways to countless souls.
Paul says in Romans 2:4 Do you recognize that it is God’s kindness that leads to repentance?
God was kind toward Dad.
God showed his kindness toward Dad as He allowed this 11-year-old to leave behind every member of his immediate family in China to enter the United States after having been detained on Angel Island.
God showed his kindness toward Dad as he worked as a servant boy for two women in Minden, Nevada.
God showed his kindness toward Dad as he attended school in Sacramento, erroneously enrolled at a parochial school. He asked his friends if their teachers wore the same clothes every day.
He was then moved to a public school.
God showed his kindness toward Dad when, as a first lieutenant in the Army Air Force in WWII, and after one battle, he was informed that none of his comrades returned.
God showed his kindness toward Dad when a young teenage woman named Alice was selling tickets to a dance, and he would respond with his proposal to purchase two if she would accompany him. (Dad was a quick-thinker!)
God showed his kindness toward Dad as he married Alice in 1943, and in subsequent years became a father to the four of us, Bob, Stanton, Tommy and myself, and in time became father-in-love to his son and daughters-in-love, grandfather to eleven and great-grandfather to three.
God showed his kindness toward Dad that day as he was pulling weeds, Dad heard a clear voice telling him to move. He did, just seconds before the block wall, for no apparent reason, toppled onto the very spot from which he had just moved.
Dad responded to God’s kindnesses toward him in not exactly the way one would expect.
When our children were young, my parents would often drive to our home and stay a day or two. One evening, by what I thought was God’s prompting; I shared the gospel with Dad.
Dad was always helping lost drivers or pedestrians find their way. I shared with him the way toward having a relationship with God through Christ.
He patiently and intently listened and then proceeded to tell me not to do this with anyone ever again. I shared my discouragement and disappointment with Mom who was in the next room.
I climbed the steps to my bedroom, sensing the anger of my dad and fully expecting him and Mom to leave in the middle of the might in his disgust.
Early the next morning, before they would be heading home, there was a knock on my bedroom door. Dad came in, sat on my bed, and said these words, “I want to become what you want me to become.”
In 1984, Mom and Dad were baptized in the Jordan River. He read the Bible and I remember him asking me a question about Psalm 23:1. He couldn’t understand that if “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,” who would not want him? I explained that this good and perfect shepherd provides all that is needed for all of life. We are not in want of anything.
One of the clearest ways God demonstrated his provision was in the gift of my Mom. He loved her and always cared for her. Even as they lived together in assisted care, they were known as the couple that was always holding hands.
Mom held Dad’s hand in the hospital during her two-hour visit on Friday afternoon, May 3, 2013. This was his second day in the hospital, and he had remained unresponsive since his admission the day before.
She sat in her wheelchair as close as she could get to him. Her first words were, “You are the best looking Air Force officer, even at 95.” She thanked him for all the meals, good times, and the time he spent with her and the family. She then prayed for him.
I held Dad’s hand a lot that day and into the evening. Frequently I told him of my love for him and that he need not worry, I would care for Mom.
I also told him that if there was anything in my life that brought him disappointment or sorrow, that I was sorry for that, but that I had every confidence that he was proud of me. At 8 PM I needed to leave for home.
I spoke into Dad’s ear, assuring him that I was there and holding his hand but that when I couldn't be there, God would hold his hand. The imagery God uses these words to describe his commitment to his people: “I will take your hand and keep you” Isaiah 42:6.
I trust God did just that, as six hours later, Dad entered into the presence of the Good Shepherd.
My dad, in how he lived his life, made it easier to call God my Father.
I miss Dad deeply. The other day driving to campus, I cried. Asking God where all these tears were coming from, He poignantly said, “These tears have been stored in a deep well dug by the remarkable and intimate love you shared with your dad.” Perhaps the tears you shed come from that kind of well.
We mourn, but differently. Our mourning is enveloped in the certain hope of eternal life. That eternal life for Dad began when he responded to the myriad kindnesses of God found in Jesus Christ, Who is the good shepherd, the One Who lays down his life for the sheep.
The Shepherd knows his sheep and whose sheep know him (John 10:11, 14).
Whenever Dad and I would depart, I’d always say to him, “I love you, Dad.” In response, he’d always say, “I love you too. Jesus loves all of us. Dad’s right, He loves us all.''
I really enjoyed this beautiful piece. I hope you did.
By the way, let’s break it down so you can use my comments to write something touching about your godly mom or dad.
First, let’s see a few parts of the introduction.
''Some of you present today knew my Dad, Sam Joe, as family, dear friend and/or associate. Some have never met Dad and you are here in support of those who have had the privilege and honor of knowing him.
As a family, we had the honor, privilege, and blessing of knowing him as husband…''
As you’re pretty much aware, there’s this saying that there’s no second chance to make a first impression and that’s so true.
You see, even though the mourners won’t judge you like other kinds of speeches, you still have to live up to expectation because your family has placed so much in you and you shouldn’t let them down.
How To Write A Beautiful Opening
To come up with a riveting opener, you have to do things differently.
While it’s common for most eulogies to begin with phrases like…'' we are gathered here to mourn the death of….'', you can start with a bang by employing one or more of the following ideas and tips.
First, you can begin by sharing your personal sentiments about the day.
Second, you can begin with a poem.
Third, you can start off with the lyrics of a song.
Fourth, you can start off with a simple question.
Finally, you can get their attention by quoting verses from the scripture.
I know this is a very painful time for you, so please let me ease your pain by showing you how can begin with a bible verse.
I’d like to use portions of Hebrews 11: 1...Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
Below is the example I wrote out of that inspiring verse.
''Thank you for coming to support us as we give praise and honor to God.
Scripture tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen for by it the elders obtained a good report.
We are here today to celebrate a man who obtained a good report because he believed in the things not seen and he had been looking forward to seeing ever since he became an old man….''
Don’t you think this will engage the audience? It’s not as hard as you think…you only have to decide which of the above ideas you want to go for.
Enough said for that….let’s move on to the body of the speech.
Below are excerpts
''Dad was always helping lost drivers or pedestrians find their way. I shared with him the way toward having a relationship with God through Christ…
In 1984, Mom and Dad were baptized in the Jordan River. He read the Bible and I remember him asking me a question about Psalm 23
One of the clearest ways God demonstrated his provision was in the gift of my Mom…
Mom held Dad’s hand in the hospital during her two-hour visit on Friday afternoon…''
This Is What Everyone Wants To Hear
The body is the heart of your eulogy for your dad or mom, and you should put a great deal of time and effort into coming up with the right stories.
Before you jot down the right stuff, you first have to decide which tone or style you want to use. You can decide if you want to use:
- Storytelling style
- Funny or hilarious style
- Sentimental style
- Inspirational style
It’s possible to combine two or more styles and most speakers fuse together inspirational, sentimental and storytelling mode of delivery.
Now, let’s look at how to get ideas for the body of your eulogy for a Christian mom or dad.
Asking yourself these questions can help you out.
- Who was your mom or dad?
- How was his or her faith in Jesus Christ?
- How did your mom or dad impact your life and your siblings? You can share how they raise you and the timeless values that impacted your life
- How did your mom or dad impact others they came into contact with?
- How their marriages inspire yours(that’s if you’re married)
- What funny or poignant memories do you want to share that will inspire the mourners?
- How has their legacy of faith enriched your life?
- Why will you miss your mom or dad?
Write answers to the questions above and use them to create an outline for your speech.
Afterward, you can craft a rough draft by modeling your Christian eulogy for your mom or dad after the above example.
Later, you can go back to edit it till you are completely happy with it.
Can You Really Do This?
Finally, let’s consider how to close your eulogy speech on a very memorable note. As always, let’s refresh our memories with extracts of the concluding lines…
''My dad, in how he lived his life, made it easier to call God my Father.
I miss Dad deeply. The other day driving to campus, I cried. Asking God where all these tears were coming from.
He poignantly said, “These tears have been stored in a deep well dug by the remarkable and intimate love you shared with your dad.” Perhaps the tears you shed come from that kind of well. I love you too. Jesus loves all of us. Dad’s right, He loves us all.’’
It’s very simple to end on a high note. Yet, most sons and dad take this part of the delivery for granted.
Just as there are established organizational patterns for the content of the introduction and the body, there are also conclusion patterns and these include:
- Thanking the audience for their rich display of love, support, and kindness which is fairly common
- Thanking God for his loving-kindness, mercy, and faithfulness over the period…
Ok…let me illustrate with this example.
Scripture tells in Psalm 30:5 that weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning.
Yesterday was our night…
Today our night is turning into day and tomorrow our sun will be up because we are looking forward to that glorious morning when we all will be hugging and kissing our loved ones and my dad and others who have gone ahead of us…
God bless you all for the outpouring of love. Keep praying for us and sending those messages because we really need them.
- Asking questions, making comparisons, or otherwise reminding the audience of your mom or dad’s beautiful characteristics
P.S Read this only if you want to give the best ever eulogy for your father. Did you know you really owe it to your dad to come up with a touching eulogy speech that will praise, bless and honor his memory…
Most sons and daughters who give beautiful and heartfelt eulogies you hear at funeral use this powerful tool…have you ever considered it?
Dear Loving Son Or Daughter,
Let’s face it…Putting together your thoughts and emotions into a very beautiful tribute without letting the tears flow isn’t an easy thing and I experienced that recently when I wrote a eulogy for someone who was very dear to my heart.
I really feel sorry for you at this very painful time and I think you shouldn’t struggle to come up with a very beautiful tribute your family, brothers, and sisters, and loved ones will never, ever forget.
Granted, writing a unique, memorable, and inspiring eulogy for your dad is not an easy thing at all at this painful time even if you’re a very gifted writer.
I want to take his very heavy burden off your shoulder by helping you come up with a funny, inspiring, and memorable eulogy that truly captures your dad’s life.
