Hello. I'm Martin McGlown, a professional writer with over 30 years' experience - here to help craft a heartfelt funeral tribute to your loved one during the most difficult of times. With sensitivity and compassion, I'll work closely with you to capture the essence of your cherished person's life and legacy, ensuring your eulogy is a fitting farewell.
My background is unique. A former London Evening Standard journalist, I've spent the past 20 years carefully crafting the stories of those affected by cancer as head of communications at the world's largest fundraising charity - Cancer Research UK.
I've penned eulogies and obituaries for clients in the UK, US, Ireland, Australia, and elsewhere - every one a privilege.
We'll work closely together, starting with a relaxed video call when I'll get to know you and the essence of your loved one. I'll then produce a first draft, which we'll refine until you're 100% happy (or your money back).
You may encounter cheaper eulogy writing services but, respectfully, they may not be of equal calibre. I don't use AI.

A funeral tribute is a deeply personal affair and I take confidentiality seriously. For this reason, I don't post previous client eulogies on my website. However, you can view tributes written for beloved members of my own family here.
Please contact martn@eulogywriting.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We'll start with an informal 1-on-1 online video call (or phone call if you prefer), generally lasting about an hour but never rushed. I'll ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed before asking you questions about the life and legacy of your cherished individual. From there I'll begin to craft your approx. 1,500 word eulogy with utmost care. Within 72 hours I'll send you a draft for review and we'll liaise via email (or further video call should you prefer) until you're 100% happy with the polished speech (or your money back).
Ideally, we'd allow seven days between the first video consultation and delivery of the finalised eulogy. This is to ensure that can you inform me of any adjustments you'd like to draft copy. However, for clients who are faced with extremely tight timelines, I can deliver a written eulogy in as little as 48 hours.
If after presentation of a first draft you're not 100% happy with the eulogy, we'll liaise further over video call or email and I'll make adjustments to the copy. This is important - I strive for complete client satisfaction and gain personal pride in knowing that I've helped someone at one of the most difficult moments in their life.
I've never previously had a client say they're unhappy with a finished eulogy - but in such circumstances I guarantee a full refund.
Every eulogy is a deeply personal affair and I take confidentiality seriously. For this reason, I don't post previous client eulogies on my website. However, you can view eulogies that I've composed for members of my own family here. Please also see my reviews page.
"As a eulogy writer, Martin has a unique gift for capturing the essence of a person's life - their passions, achievements, challenges and values. But above all, he finds the right words to convey love and help funeralgoers celebrate the glorious splendour of time spent on earth. I cannot thank him enough for the sensitivity he showed ahead of my father's funeral."
"Without Martin's support, I don't know how I would have coped after my younger brother suddenly passed away. I had so much to deal with in terms of arranging the funeral and I simply didn't know where to start with eulogy writing . Martin took away all of the anxiety and his gentle interviewing technique allowed me to share everything that mattered to me about my bro. The resulting eulogy was just beautiful."
"I endorse Martin's eulogy writing and can't thank him enough for composing the perfect funeral speech to celebrate my late mom's life. If I'd tried to write it myself, I wouldn't have known where to start as mom packed so much into her 87 years. "Martin took great care in constructing a tribute that left barely a dry eye in the chapel."
"Even though I consider myself to be a strong writer, I was just too overcome with grief following the loss of my partner - I couldn't bring myself to write his eulogy. I searched the web for help and found Martin's eulogy writing . Thank goodness I did. He took all of the stress and strain away and produced an amazing tribute."
"What I really loved about Martin's eulogy writing service was that he went above and beyond to ensure I had a eulogy that was written in my tone of voice. Not only that, he actually sent me a voice recording of him reading out the eulogy which was incredibly helpful as it guided me on pacing and how to emphasise particular words."
