About The Eulogy Writers

What does The Eulogy Writers do?

At The Eulogy Writers, we help people find the right words during life’s most meaningful moments. Whether you need a heartfelt eulogy, a meaningful legacy letter, or a professionally written life story book, we help preserve memories and tell stories that matter.

Who writes the eulogies and legacy pieces?

Your writing is done personally by Steve Schafer, a professional writer, pastor, and speaker who has written hundreds of heartfelt tributes for families across the United States and internationally.

Do you only write eulogies?

Not at all. While we are known for professional eulogy writing, we also create:
  • Legacy Letters for children, grandchildren, spouses, and loved ones
  • Life Story / Legacy Books that preserve your memories and family history
  • Memorial tributes and remembrance writing
  • Guided storytelling services to help you preserve your story

Eulogy Questions

How does the eulogy writing process work?

It’s simple.
  1. You share stories, memories, and important details (using our "Collecting Memories" questionnaire and perhaps through phone conversations).
  2. We explore the personality, faith, humor, and relationships of your loved one.
  3. A custom eulogy is professionally written in a warm, natural voice.
  4. You review it and request any revisions you’d like.

The goal is always the same: a tribute that sounds genuine and feels deeply personal.

What if I don’t know what to say?

That is exactly why many people come to us.

Most families are grieving, overwhelmed, or under time pressure. You do not need to write perfectly. Even brief memories or scattered thoughts are enough—we shape them into something meaningful and memorable.

How quickly can you write a eulogy?

We always provide fast turnaround within 24 hours.

Will the eulogy sound like me?

Yes. That matters enormously.

We write in a voice that feels natural and authentic to you—warm, conversational, funny, faith-filled, formal, or simple. Our goal is for people to say: “That sounded exactly like you.”

Can you include humor?

Absolutely. Some of the most memorable eulogies include warmth, humor, and personality. A great tribute reflects the whole person—their quirks, stories, laughter, and love.

Do you write Christian eulogies?

Yes. As a longtime pastor, Steve can include Scripture, prayer, faith themes, or spiritual reflections if desired. We also write non-religious or interfaith tributes. Most eulogies we write are non-religious.

What areas do you serve? 

We work with clients throughout the United States and internationally. We've served people in over 20 countries around the globe.

Legacy Letter Questions

What is a legacy letter?
​

A legacy letter is one of the most meaningful gifts you can leave behind.

It is a personal letter that shares your values, wisdom, memories, hopes, life lessons, blessings, and love with the people who matter most to you.

Think of it as a heartfelt message your loved ones can treasure forever.

Who should receive a legacy letter?

Many people write legacy letters for:
  • Children or grandchildren
  • A spouse or partner
  • Future generations
  • Close friends or family members
  • Loved ones after a major life event or diagnosis

What if I’m not a good writer?

You don’t need to be.

You simply talk, answer questions, or share ideas. We help shape your thoughts into a beautiful, natural letter that sounds like you.

Are legacy letters only for end-of-life situations?

Not at all.

Many people create legacy letters while healthy because they want to preserve wisdom, family stories, values, and encouragement for future generations.

Can I write more than one legacy letter?

Absolutely. Many clients create separate letters for different children, grandchildren, or family members.

Life Story / Legacy Book Questions

What is a life story book?

A life story or legacy book preserves your memories, stories, experiences, wisdom, and family history in a professionally written format your family can keep for generations.

It becomes part memoir, part family treasure.

What kinds of stories can be included?

Anything important to your life:
  • Childhood memories
  • Family traditions
  • Faith and values
  • Marriage and parenting stories
  • Career experiences
  • Funny moments and hard lessons
  • Advice for future generations

Do I have to write the book myself?

No.

Most clients simply share stories in conversations or answer guided questions through phone conversations or over Zoom. We organize, write, and shape everything into a readable, engaging story.

How long does the process take?

Timing depends on the scope of the project, but most legacy books are completed over several weeks through interviews and revisions.

General Questions

Is this confidential?

Yes. Your stories, family information, and personal details are treated with care and confidentiality.
