Eulogy
Eulogy for your grandfather — the workshop, the truck, the one word
Eulogies for grandfathers land when they're anchored in one thing he made, fixed, drove, built, or said the same way for forty years. The room wants the specific man, not the category.
What helps us write a good one
- ·His name + where you remember him (the workshop, the porch, the truck, the chair)
- ·One object, tool, or habit that was unmistakably his
- ·A phrase he said often — even one word, if it's the right one
- ·What his grandchildren learned from watching him without being taught
- ·What's off-limits — the long illness, the estrangement, the war he wouldn't talk about (we obey it strictly)
What you might get
“The same coffee tin of screws sat on the third shelf of the workshop for forty years, sorted by a system nobody else could see, and he could find the right one in about four seconds. When a job was done properly he said “right” — one word, and you’d worked all afternoon for it. We learned how to finish things by standing there not being taught…”
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.
