How Many Words Is a 7 Minute Eulogy?
Word count is a guide, not a rule. Most people speak roughly 130 to 150 words per minute in a memorial setting.
Rough targets by length
- 3 minutes: about 400 to 450 words.
- 5 minutes: about 650 to 750 words.
- 7 minutes: about 900 to 1,050 words.
Leave room for silence
Pauses after emotional lines are part of the speech. If your draft is long on paper, trim it before the service.
