How to write a eulogy | Bret Simner | TEDxBasel

Most people have never thought about what they would do in the moment if they were called upon to deliver a eulogy. Bret Simner tells not only how you can structure and deliver a eulogy but also why you should do it. Bret Simner was born in New York City and has lived in Basel for over 17 years. His education includes bachelor and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School and a doctorate from Stony Brook University. His eclectic work experience ranges from milking cows and bailing hay to playing music on stages such as Carnegie Hall and Versailles. When not teaching music at the Swiss International School, Bret spends his time trying to keep up with his daughter’s scooting and his son’s fastball. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
