Summary
What makes a truly great eulogy?
We need an exceptional life, made remarkable in some way - be it colourful, fruitful or meaningful. And then we need someone uniquely and perfectly placed to speak well of the dead.
Having scoured the recent past for the funeral address's most powerful iterations, Daniel Scott brings us the eulogies that have brought their subjects bursting back to life with wit, candour, love and insight.
From Eric Idle on George Harrison to Jonathan Franzen on David Foster Wallace, Helena Bonham Carter on Vivienne Westwood to Oprah Winfrey on Rosa Parks, A Good Funeral is the ultimate collection of famous last words.©2026 Daniel Scott (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
