What Should You Not Put in a Eulogy?
A eulogy is a tribute, not a full biography, debate, or therapy session. When in doubt, choose the story that shows love and leave private conflict out of the room.
Topics to leave out
- Old family arguments, divorces, or grievances that are not yours to air publicly.
- Embarrassing stories the family has not agreed to share.
- Graphic medical details unless the family specifically wants them mentioned.
- Criticism of other people, institutions, or the deceased.
- Inside jokes that most guests will not understand.
When you are unsure, ask a close family member
A quick check with a spouse, sibling, or adult child can prevent a painful surprise on the day of the service.
