Eulogy vs Obituary
Whether you're in need of a eulogy service or an obituary service, I can help you. One is often mistaken for the other, but the main differences are length and delivery. While a eulogy is longer and presented as a speech, an obituary is shorter and displayed for others to read. Here is a quick overview.
Eulogy
-
A written account of the person's life story
-
Approximately 1,000 words in length
-
Includes detailed information with memorable anecdotes/stories
-
Read aloud by a family member or close friend at the funeral service
Obituary
-
A written account of the person's life story
-
Approximately 200-300 words in length
-
Includes general information rather than specific details or stories
-
Printed in a newspaper or online as a public notice for others to read
