What to Say When an Aunt Passes Away
One of the hardest things to do when a loved one passes away is simply finding the right words. After all, how do you sum up the importance of what they meant to you in a way that doesn’t sound trite? The truth is, the best messages are often the simplest. Don’t overcomplicate things. Speak directly from the heart, and in most cases things will fall into place on their own. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Writing an obituary or eulogy for your aunt – Start with basic information (name, age, place of residence, date of passing), then follow that with an overview of her life achievements: career, hobbies, family, or anything else that defined who she was. Be sure to include personal details or stories about your relationship, and why she was important to you.
How to give a nice tribute to an aunt who passed away – Make it personal. Share stories that highlight her character or that spotlight how she helped shape you into who you are. If she had an impact on your life or the lives of others, make it known how. The way in which she touched others is an important part of her legacy that should not be forgotten.
What to say when an aunt passes away – Finding the right words can be tough, so keep things direct and simple. "I am heartbroken to hear about Aunt [Name]'s passing. She was an incredible person who meant the world to me” is often all you need to say. The rest is unspoken but understood.
How to wish your aunt will rest in peace – If she was a religious person, highlight her faith and offer comfort that she is now with God. If she helped shape your life, vow to live in a way that would make her proud. And if she was ill, find peace in knowing that she, too, is now at peace.
What Should You Include in a Eulogy for an Aunt?
There is no one right way to deliver a eulogy. Delivering a spoken tribute is all about capturing the spirit of your aunt and what she meant to you and/or others. You can do this through personal stories, discussing her interests or accomplishments, or by sharing some of their most recognizable sayings or jokes. Let who your aunt was and the personality she had – serious, funny, spiritual, mentoring – be your guide. There are, of course, some best practices to keep in mind. Trying reading some excellent eulogies for inspiration, and be sure to include the following in your own tribute:
What She Meant to You and Others
Begin by discussing the significance she had in your life and the lives of others. Highlight her role in the family and the unique qualities that made her special. Whether she helped you learn a hobby, volunteered at her church, or was quick with a joke, mention it.
Special Memories and Stories
Share anecdotes and stories that spotlight the bond you shared and that illustrate the kind of person she was. That family camping trip? Her love of music? The time she made you laugh so hard it hurt? They can all help others understand what a special person she was.
Life Achievements and Virtues
Mention her accomplishments, both personal and professional. Discuss her values, virtues, and any lessons she imparted to you and others. Whether she had a successful career, raised a great family, was an amazing cook, or wrote a book, all are worth mentioning when delivering a tribute to her.
Samples of Eulogies for an Aunt
We know that starting from scratch is not easy, so to help you get started, we have created some sample eulogies you can use as templates. Treat these as starting points, not as complete tributes, expanding upon them using the tips above and replacing any details with your own as needed:
From a niece, for an aunt who was a mentor
"[Aunt’s Name] was not just an aunt; she was like a second mother to me. Her guidance and unwavering support shaped me into the person I am today. From baking cookies together to our long conversations about life, she was always there to lend a listening ear, offer wise advice, and to teach me things no one else could."
From a nephew, for an aunt with an adventurous spirit
"You never knew what to expect with [Aunt’s Name]. She was was the embodiment of adventure and spontaneity, with a zest for life that was truly infectious. Whether it was camping trips in the mountains or spontaneous road trips to the beach, she taught me to seize the day and live life to the fullest, something that still guides me today. Her adventurous spirit will be greatly missed, and I encourage you all to embrace that those same ideals."
From a niece, for an aunt who provided wisdom
"[Aunt’s Name] faced many challenges in life, always with grace and resilience, and in turn teaching us to do the same. Her stories of overcoming obstacles inspired me to never give up when facing my own obstacles, giving me strength in hard times – including right now. [Aunt’s Name], thank you for your unwavering support."
From a nephew, for an aunt with boundless generosity
"Everyone who ever met her would tell you that [Aunt’s Name] had a heart of gold. She was always ready to help anyone in need. From organizing charity events to offering a helping hand to family and friends, her kindness touched too many lives to count. That’s an example I’ve taken with me in my own life, and I hope you do, too. [Aunt’s Name] would not want you to mourn today. Instead, she would want you to use her passing as a reason to go out and help others. It’s what she would have done."
From a niece, for an aunt with a creative spirit
"When I think of creativity, I think of [Aunt’s Name]. She was an artist in every sense of the word. She saw beauty in everything and expressed herself in wonderful ways. Her handmade gifts are precious, true family heirlooms that expressed a part of who she was. I cherish every one of them. She taught me to see the world through a different lens, one filled with color and wonder. She would want you to do the same."
These are just a few examples of the many approaches you can take. Ultimately, your approach should be guided by the kind of person your aunt was in life and what would best represent and honor who she was. Use these examples as a starting point, then follow your heart.
