Eulogy for John Robertson: The Maestro with a Heart of Gold
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a big Nottingham Forest fan and have been since I was about 6 years old, almost 50 years. I'm not from Nottingham, so they may seem like an unusual team to choose. The reason is just as unusual. One of my earliest memories is watching a random Northern Ireland match with my Dad (more likely it just happened to be on the TV, rather than we were consciously watching it) when someone scored for the Irish.

Energy Saving Tips For Your Business
For all the challenges small businesses like mine face daily, the cost of living—especially energy prices—has recently become a significant concern.

10 Tips for Delivering a Eulogy That Truly Captures a Life Well-Lived
Whilst it's one request you might never want to receive, when it does, it's both an honour and a daunting challenge: you’ve been asked to deliver a eulogy! Whether it fills you with pride, humility, or trepidation, your task sounds simple: to sum up a unique, complex, and cherished life in just a few minutes.

The Role of Religion in Eulogy Writing
No matter who's doing it, writing a eulogy is always a balancing act — between grief and gratitude, memory and meaning, truth and tenderness. But perhaps the most delicate balance of all comes when religion enters the frame. Whether you’re deeply devout, gently spiritual, or firmly secular, religion often plays a role in how we talk about death and legacy. It shapes not only the ceremony in which a eulogy is spoken but also the language, tone and comfort that people seek from

The Role of Eulogies in Modern-Day Grieving
Grief in the modern world has become both more public and yet, at the same time, more private than ever before. We live in an age where loss is often shared through social media posts, WhatsApp group chats and online memorial pages, yet the true act of mourning, of sitting with the reality of someone’s absence, has become harder to find space for. Amidst all this digital noise, one tradition has remained quietly essential: the eulogy. As a professional eulogy writer, I’ve ha
