Eulogy
Eulogy for your brother — the years nobody else in the room was there for
A brother's eulogy reaches years no one else in that room can: the same house, the wall between your bedrooms, the version of him from before he was anyone's husband, father or colleague. His wife knew the man and his friends knew the stretch they were around for — you were there for the part that made him. Start where they can't.
What helps us write a good one
- ·One thing from when you were both kids that shows who he already was
- ·What the two of you fought about, and what happened to it later (every room knows brothers fight)
- ·A phrase, a joke or a habit you both got from the same house
- ·One time he showed up for you as an adult — the version of him only you got
- ·What's off-limits — the estrangement, the illness, the years you didn't speak (we obey it strictly)
What you might get
“I have known Michael longer than anyone in this room, and for the first nine years of it I mostly wanted him to go away. We shared a wall until I was seventeen. He is the only person who ever heard me practice, and the only one who never once said anything about it…”
How OccasionScribe works
You fill out a structured form (4–6 minutes). The questions are designed to surface specifics — names, stories, tone, what to avoid. Specifics are the whole game; vague answers produce vague drafts.
We use Anthropic's Claude model to produce the first draft, then a programmatic review pass. We say this because you should know. Most buyers don't mind; many find it's the only reason they finally write the thing.
The draft lands in your inbox in 2–10 minutes depending on tier. Priority orders include one free revision. Standard orders: email us if something missed — we'll usually take care of small fixes free.
