Honor a life with words that feel true

Writing a eulogy while grieving is one of the hardest things anyone is asked to do. SpeakEasy offers a gentle starting point: share the memories, values and moments you want spoken aloud, and receive a respectful, restrained draft that keeps the focus where it belongs — on the person you loved. Edit as much or as little as you need.

• A calm, guided questionnaire you can complete at your own pace
• Respectful, restrained tone by default — gentle humor only if you ask
• Nothing is invented: the speech uses only what you share
• Your words stay in your browser; no account is required

Example opening

My grandmother Margaret — Peggy, to everyone who loved her — measured her life in Sunday dinners. No one left her table hungry, and no one left without advice, whether they asked for it or not. What I’ll remember most is her laugh from the kitchen, and the way she made every one of us feel like her favorite. If we carry even a little of her kindness forward, she isn’t gone at all.

Frequently asked questions

Is it appropriate to use AI help for a eulogy?

The words are still yours: the draft is built only from the memories and values you choose to share, as a starting point you can edit line by line. Many people find it helps them begin when starting is the hardest part.

How long should a eulogy be?

Three to five minutes is typical. Pick a spoken-length target and the draft is paced accordingly — you can shorten or extend it afterwards.

Will it stay respectful?

Yes. The default tone is restrained and warm, with gentle humor only if you ask for it, and you can name topics to avoid.

Is my writing kept private?

Your answers and drafts are stored only in your own browser. Nothing requires an account, and it’s free during the open beta.
