A song to remember them by, in your own words

A different kind of gift

When someone is gone, the details are what we’re most afraid of forgetting. A memorial song keeps them — their name, their sayings, the small habits that made them who they were — in something you can play at a service, share with family, or keep for the hard days.

We know this isn’t an ordinary purchase, so the process is gentle: nothing is produced until you’ve read the lyrics and feel they’re right. You can rewrite or edit them as many times as you need to.

Where a tribute song is used

• Funerals and celebrations of life — played during a slideshow or as people gather.
• Anniversaries of a passing — a way to mark the day together.
• A gift to a grieving friend or relative — something that tells them their person is remembered.
• Pets — a song for the companion who was family, too.

What to share about them

Don’t worry about writing it well — just write what’s true. It helps to include:

• Their name and what you called them (Grandma, Pops, Aunt Lou).
• Something they always said, or a piece of advice you still hear in your head.
• A place connected to them — their kitchen, their garden, their church, their porch.
• What they loved: music, cooking, fishing, a team, their grandkids.
• How you want people to feel: comforted, grateful, or even smiling.

Mama, the porch light’s still on,
the kettle still hums your song —
you taught us how to love this well,
so we’ll keep loving now you’re gone.

An illustrative example, not a customer’s song.

Choosing a sound

Gospel, Acoustic and 70s Soul are common choices for services, often with a Peaceful, Heartfelt or Tearjerker mood. For a celebration of life, an Uplifting mood can turn the song into a thank-you rather than a goodbye. You can hear a free preview first and change the style if it doesn’t feel right.
