How it works

Step 1 – Create Your Eulogy

Begin by registering on Precious Thoughts. Once you’ve signed up, you can start building your personal eulogy page.

You’ll be guided through a simple form where you can:

  • Record a heartfelt video and/or audio message using our Eulogy recorder.
  • You can make notes under the screen to prompt you when recording your video.
  • Upload photos that capture your favourite memories

There’s no rush — you can save your progress, return anytime and update your eulogy whenever you wish. Your page remains private and accessible only to you until it’s ready to be shared with your loved ones, after your passing.

Step 2 –Nominate an Appointed Person

As part of your setup, you’ll be asked to select a trusted family member, friend or professional who will notify us upon your passing. Your appointed person will not have access to your eulogy content. Their role is to instruct Precious Thoughts to release your eulogy, that you have created to the organisation conducting your funeral. You can change or update your appointed person at any time via your dashboard.

Step 3 – Upon your passing

When your appointed person instructs us, our team will then follow a sensitive and secure process to ensure:

  • Your eulogy is delivered via a secure link to the organisation conducting your funeral, with full guidance on how to view and download your eulogy.

Step 4 – Sharing Your eulogy with loved ones, near and far – forever.

Your eulogy will be available to be viewed by your loved ones after your funeral, through a secure VIEWER page on Precious Thoughts.
  • The VIEWERS of your eulogy will be given a unique encrypted link or QR code so that they can watch and listen to your creation as often as they want.


Your stories, memories and voice will become a cherished keepsake — something your loved ones can return to for years to come and may assist with the grief and sadness.

Creating and sharing your Eulogy through Precious Thoughts is a simple and thoughtful process — designed to help you express your story, protect your memories and ensure your Eulogy is shared exactly as you wish.

Hints and Tips

1.Decide the tone first

Before words, choose the feeling you want to leave behind:

  • Warm and grateful – focused on appreciation and love
  • Honest and reflective – acknowledging struggles as well as joys
  • Lightly humorous – gentle wit that sounds like you
  • Spiritual or philosophical – meaning, faith, or big questions

You can mix tones, but having a primary one keeps it grounded. Here are a few examples:-

  • Reflective: “If you’re hearing this, it means my journey has ended—but my love for you continues.”
  • Grateful: “I was blessed with more laughter, friendship, and adventure than I ever deserved.”
  • Playful: “Well, I finally found a way to be the centre of attention without interrupting anyone.”
  1. Talk as if you’re speaking to specific people

Instead of “everyone,” imagine:

  • Family members
  • Close friends
  • People who knew different versions of you

This makes the eulogy feel intimate rather than formal.

Example mindset:

“If I could speak to you one last time, this is what I’d want you to know.”

  1. Focus on values, not achievements

People rarely remember résumés—they remember how you made them feel.
Consider:

  • What mattered most to you?
  • What did you try (even imperfectly) to live by?
  • What do you hope others carry forward?

Speak about your achievements, but as interesting stories, not bullet points.

  1. Acknowledge imperfection

A eulogy spoken by you doesn’t need to be polished or idealized.

  • Briefly naming regrets, lessons learned, or mistakes can be deeply human
  • It gives permission for others to remember you honestly

This often brings comfort rather than sadness.

  1. Offer gratitude and permission

Many people find this the most powerful part.
You might:

  • Thank people for loving you
  • Acknowledge care you received
  • Give permission to laugh, live fully, and let go

Examples:

  • “Please don’t feel guilty for being happy.”
  • “Carry on traditions—or change them.”
  • “Remember me with a smile when you can.”
  1. Keep it shorter than you think
  • Spoken eulogies land best when concise and you may want to consider the following  structure.
  • Opening: A warm greeting or reflection on life.
  • Middle: Your story, values, and memories.
  • Closing: A message of love, hope, or farewell.
  • Aim for 5–8 minutes.
  • Simple language beats poetic excess
  • White space and short paragraphs will help you.

If it’s long, consider ending with a short final message that lingers.

  1. Think about a forward looking ending

A strong ending doesn’t dwell on loss—it points outward:

  • A hope for those left behind
  • A reminder of love
  • A quiet goodbye, not a dramatic one

Often, the simplest endings are the most moving.

  1. You don’t have to do it all at once

There is no pressure, take your time, ask for assistance if needed.

  • Write fragments over time
  • Let it sit, revise gently
  • You may never feel it’s “finished”—that’s okay

It can evolve as you do.

As always, Precious Thoughts are here to help you.
