Frequently Asked Questions
What should I say in a eulogy for my grandmother or grandfather?
What you called them and the thing you always did together, one piece of their life story that explains how they became who they were, the advice or habit they passed down, and what of theirs lives on in the family now. Four to six minutes.
How do I write a eulogy for a grandparent I did not know well?
Interview the people who did. Ask your parent, an aunt, an old neighbour for one story each, then tell them as what you have been told. "My mother says he ironed his newspaper" is an honest and lovely line. The eulogy becomes the family's memory rather than only yours.
Should a eulogy for a grandparent cover their whole life story?
No. Pick one chapter that explains them, the war, the emigration, the shop, the farm, and tell it in a paragraph. A decade-by-decade chronology is what the obituary is for. The eulogy is for the person the chronology leaves out.
How long should a eulogy for a grandparent be?
Four to six minutes, or about 500 to 800 words. Their children will often speak too, so if you are a grandchild, four minutes is generous. Great-grandchildren in the room will thank you.
How do I include the younger family members who barely knew them?
Speak to them once, directly: "For the little ones who will not remember her, this is what you should know." Then give one concrete thing, the sweets in the tin, the way she said their names. It turns the eulogy into something they can keep.
How does the AI speech generator work?
Our AI uses the personal details and stories you provide to craft a unique, personalized speech. Simply answer a few questions about your relationship, share meaningful memories, and choose your preferred tone and length. The AI then generates 3 different draft variations for you to choose from and customize.
Can I edit the generated speech?
Absolutely! The generated drafts are starting points. You can edit every word, add your own touches, and refine until it sounds exactly like you. We recommend using the AI as a foundation and then personalizing it with specific details only you would know.
How long should my speech be?
Most speeches work best at 3-5 minutes (around 400-600 words). This gives you enough time to share meaningful content without losing your audience's attention. Our generator lets you choose between short (2-3 min), medium (4-5 min), and long (6-7 min) options.
