Family stories are a great way to capture the moments, relationships, characters, and quirks of a lineage; family stories are often memories of multiple family members that are compiled into an objective narrative that can be passed down for generations.

Family stories often share the cultural, social, and political history of the time period in which they are written to fully set the scene. Like memoirs, family stories use narrative components like dialogue, setting, and description to tell a rich story for the audience: your family.

Unfortunately, many eulogies end up being generic word crap, which leaves friends and family even more distraught (assuming you were a decent person and they’re not just showing up to make sure you’ve really left the proverbial building). This is just one reason you should write your own eulogy.
