CRUSH STRESS

I Focus Your Years of Memories… Write Your Original
Eulogy… and Show You How to Deliver It With Ease,
Grace and Power

Hi… I’m Eulogy Writer and Strategist Den Pope.

You have only one shot at this eulogy.

Family and friends at funerals, celebrations of life and other memorials are tired of do-it-yourself eulogies pieced together with dull, rambling stories and canned, one-size-fits-all lines online they’ve all heard and that can be said about anyone like “He was one-of-a-kind!”

And most eulogies are little more than résumés with lines like “… and then she moved to Detroit and began working for Ford Motor Company."

I’ll help you shock, surprise and lift everyone with a warm, original, unforgettable eulogy.

I have a master’s degree in journalism and 20+ years of eulogy writing experience.  So I approach this process from a journalistic point of view, which means we’re going to go very deep, very quickly to define the values, character, humor and personality of your loved one through your eyes.

An Easy & Insightful Process for You

You have years of thoughts, memories, feelings and experiences about the deceased in your heart and head.  And if you’re like most, it all feels like a jumbled mess right now.

That makes it next to impossible to step back and get perspective, which is what it takes to create a great eulogy that honors him or her and is easy and enjoyable for the audience to follow.

The day you book your eulogy you’ll receive a discussion guide with about a few simple but thought-provoking questions that will have you thinking about the person in ways you haven’t before. Then we’ll spend an hour on the phone together going deeper.

As important, I want to get to know you and your values, character, personality and sense of humor. Because every word of this eulogy has to be in your voice and personality.

Real Human Compassion, Power & Creativity

You and I work directly together—one-to-one—to create a rich, warm and powerful portrait of your loved one through your eyes. No bland, boring AI.

I emphasis quality over the fast-food, 24-hour-delivery promised by every other so-called “eulogy writer” online who use templates, canned lines and exhausting questionnaires that have you answering 50+ questions (Why are you doing all the work?) 

You’ll have your eulogy when you need it but we’re going through a relaxed, thorough process—not a rush job. 

A powerful eulogy is an event game changer. Be the one speaker who finally cared enough to give their best in an original eulogy.

And enjoy the thanks and compliments from everyone.

“It was amazing! My family and friends said the eulogy triggered emotions deep down in their hearts. They laughed. They cried. They were deep in thought. It was an honor and privilege to work with Den.” (continue)

Jackie, Wisconsin

“The eulogy could not have gone better. Bottom line -- I cannot thank you enough for helping me share my sister's life in a way that moved her family and friends. It went extraordinarily well because of your writing and speaking suggestions. As my very close friend said yesterday, "It was perfection." (continue)

Wow. It was a wonderful tribute that you prepared and guided me in delivering. There were over 400 people at the funeral and I don't have to tell you what the reaction was— extraordinary! (continue)

Original

Your relationship with the deceased is like no one else’s.

But it’s difficult to step back from years of thoughts, memories and feelings to make sense of it all.

I get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship to create a eulogy only one person in the world can give—you.

EXPERIENCE

With an M.A. in journalism and decades of speechwriting experience, I know how to get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship.

This is not a side hustle, this is what I’ve done full time since 2001. (see About)

That means you’ll get compliments from everyone for being the one who actually cared enough to give an original eulogy. (see Reviews)
