In the science fiction novel, Enders Game, Orson Scott Card introduces the concept of “speaker for the dead”.
This is a professional that is hired after someone’s death. The speaker interviews family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, business associates and even enemies.
The speaker compiles a full and honest summary of this persons life and presents it in an unbiased eulogy.
Interesting idea. One not likely to catch on.
I think that's a great idea! I won't have to take any of the fallout!
There is a group of us that went to school together and hung around each other for the last 50 years. Some of them will be speaking. I've laid down the law: NO HOLDING BACK!
