Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: August 2026

The Short Version

We want Your Eulogy to be usable by as many people as reasonably possible.

That applies to both the website and My Eulogy File.

We’re a small, independent project, and accessibility is a work in progress. We won’t pretend everything is perfect when it isn’t.

We’ll aim to make sensible improvements as the website and File develop, and if something we’ve created is difficult or impossible for you to use, please tell us.

If you need My Eulogy File in a different or more accessible format, get in touch.

If we can reasonably provide it, we will.

Email: hello@youreulogy.co.uk

The longer version follows.

Our Approach to Accessibility

People use websites and written materials in different ways.

They may:

use a screen reader;

navigate using a keyboard rather than a mouse;

magnify text;

change colours or contrast;

use voice recognition software;

need clear, uncomplicated layouts;

have difficulty reading large amounts of text;

have cognitive or processing differences;

have dyslexia or other reading difficulties;

need information presented in a different format; or

simply find some ways of presenting information much easier than others.

Accessibility isn’t only about meeting a technical checklist.

It’s about whether people can actually use what we’ve made.

That’s what we’re working towards.

The Your Eulogy Website

We aim to make YourEulogy.co.uk clear, readable, and straightforward to navigate.

As the website develops, we’ll aim to consider things such as:

clear heading structures;

readable text;

appropriate colour contrast;

meaningful link text;

keyboard navigation;

alternative text for meaningful images;

avoiding unnecessary movement or animation;

forms that are clearly labelled;

layouts that work at different screen sizes;

the ability to zoom without losing important content; and

plain, understandable language wherever possible.

We also try not to make the website unnecessarily complicated.

Sometimes the most accessible feature is simply not adding something that doesn’t need to be there.

My Eulogy File

Accessibility also matters in the downloadable My Eulogy File.

The File contains a substantial amount of written material, including questions, prompts, explanations, and longer sections.

As we develop and format it, we’ll aim to make choices that support readability and accessibility, including:

clear headings and hierarchy;

logical reading order;

readable typography;

appropriate spacing;

good contrast;

consistent layouts;

descriptive rather than ambiguous instructions;

avoiding unnecessary decorative elements that interfere with reading; and

creating a document that can be navigated and understood without relying solely on its visual appearance.

The File deliberately doesn’t contain small writing boxes underneath every question.

Your answers are kept separately in your own notebook, binder, folder, or digital document.

That means you can choose the method of writing or recording your answers that works best for you rather than having to fit them into a format we’ve imposed.

Alternative Formats

We recognise that a standard downloadable version won’t work equally well for everybody.

We’re open to providing My Eulogy File in alternative formats where we reasonably can.

Depending on what is needed and what we’re technically able to provide, this might include versions designed for:

screen-reader use;

larger text;

reduced visual formatting;

printing;

digital reading;

editable text;

or another accessible format.

We don’t want to promise that we can immediately produce every possible format.

But we do want you to ask.

If the standard version creates a barrier for you, email:

hello@youreulogy.co.uk

Tell us what format or adjustment would help.

You don’t need to tell us why you need it or provide medical information.

Just tell us what would make the material more usable for you.

We’ll let you know what we can reasonably provide.

You Can Use the File in Your Own Way

There is no required way to complete My Eulogy File.

You can write by hand.

Type.

Use speech-to-text.

Ask somebody you trust to help you record your answers.

Record your thoughts separately in another format if that works better for you.

Answer one question at a time.

Ignore questions that don’t work for you.

Take breaks.

Come back months later.

The workbook is there to prompt your thinking.

You don’t have to adapt yourself to the File.

Use the File in whatever way makes it useful to you.

Language and Cognitive Accessibility

We aim to write in clear, ordinary English.

That doesn’t mean every sentence will be short or every idea will be simple.

Some of the things we’re asking people to think about are complicated.

But we try to avoid unnecessary jargon, overly formal language, and complicated instructions where straightforward ones will do.

We also use humour.

Occasionally quite a lot of it.

The humour isn’t intended to obscure important instructions, and we’ll try to make sure essential information remains clear.

Sensitive and Difficult Content

My Eulogy File includes subjects that some people may find emotionally difficult.

These can include death, illness, grief, relationships, estrangement, regret, difficult periods of life, and people you’ve lost.

You don’t have to answer every question.

You don’t have to complete every chapter.

And you don’t have to explore something simply because we’ve asked about it.

Skip it.

Come back to it.

Decide it’s none of our business.

You’re in charge of what goes into your File.

Known Limitations

Your Eulogy is a small, developing project.

At this stage, we cannot say that every part of the website or every version of My Eulogy File will meet every accessibility requirement or work perfectly with every combination of assistive technology, browser, device, and software.

There may be things we haven’t got right yet.

There may also be accessibility problems we simply haven’t noticed.

We’d rather be honest about that than publish an accessibility statement claiming perfection.

As the project develops, we intend to review accessibility and make reasonable improvements where we identify problems.

Third-Party Services

Some parts of Your Eulogy rely on services provided by other organisations.

These may include services used for:

website hosting;

contact forms;

cookie management;

payment and digital product delivery; and

email updates.

We don’t have complete control over the accessibility of third-party websites, checkout systems, interfaces, or other services.

Where we have a reasonable choice, accessibility will be one factor we consider when selecting and reviewing the services we use.

Tell Us About an Accessibility Problem

If you find something on Your Eulogy that you cannot access, understand, navigate, or use, we’d like to know.

You can also contact us if:

My Eulogy File doesn’t work with your assistive technology;

you need information in a different format;

something is difficult to read;

a form is difficult to use;

a link or navigation element doesn’t work as expected;

something we’ve written is unnecessarily confusing; or

you’ve spotted an accessibility issue we haven’t considered.

Email:

hello@youreulogy.co.uk

If possible, tell us:

what you were trying to access;

what went wrong;

what device, browser, or assistive technology you were using, if relevant; and

what would make it easier for you.

You don’t have to provide information about a disability or health condition.

We need to understand the barrier, not your medical history.

Accessibility Is a Work in Progress

Your Eulogy will change.

The website will change.

My Eulogy File will change.

And our understanding of what makes both of them accessible will hopefully improve too.

We’ll review this statement as the project develops and update it when necessary.

If we’ve missed something, tell us.

We’d rather fix a problem than pretend there isn’t one.
