New Edinburgh-Based Service Offers a Unique Way to Tell Your Life Story – in Your Own Words

EDINBURGH, Scotland - June 10, 2025 - PRLog -- Eulonique, founded by trained funeral celebrant and professional writer James McCoy, helps people write their own eulogies and legacy letters in advance – with warmth, reflection and care.

An Edinburgh-based service is offering people the chance to reflect on their lives and take control of how they are remembered – by working with a professional writer to create their own eulogy or legacy letter in advance.

Eulonique, founded by James McCoy, a trained funeral celebrant and professional writer, helps individuals tell their story on their own terms, whether they're planning ahead, facing a terminal diagnosis, or simply want to leave something meaningful behind.

"It's not about being morbid," says McCoy. "It's about taking ownership of your story. A good eulogy is a celebration of life – and many people want a say in how that story is told."

The idea for Eulonique grew out of McCoy's work as a funeral celebrant, where he often met families struggling to piece together a life with limited information and very little time.

"I kept hearing families say 'I wish I'd asked them more.' There were gaps – forgotten achievements, untold memories, things left unsaid. Eulonique gives people a chance to fill in those gaps themselves."

Services range from a single written tribute to ongoing updates (allowing clients to revise their story as life evolves), legacy letters – personal messages to be shared with loved ones – and traditional eulogy writing for families who need support during bereavement. The process is discreet, professional, and tailored to each individual, with consultations available across the UK via video call.

McCoy hopes to open up a wider conversation around how we remember and honour people, and believes that giving people a voice in their own eulogy can be a powerful, comforting act. He is available for radio interviews or guest features to discuss why legacy planning is becoming increasingly important to modern families, and how Eulonique is reframing what a eulogy can be.
