A Memorial Song That Tells Their Story

Start their song

Or make it a worship song

When someone is gone, the stories are what's left. A song keeps them together: their name, the way they laughed, the thing they always said. Families play it at the service, then keep it for every birthday after.

Tell us about them in your own words. A few sentences is enough. Your song is ready within 24 hours. Free changes until every line sounds like them.

“It brought me to tears… using all that I had hurriedly shared and making something beautiful out of it.”

An example of a photo lyric video. Yours uses their photos and their song.

Their photos, with the words lighting up as the song plays

Add 8 to 25 of their photos from your phone. They play with their song, and each word lights up as it's sung. For the service, or for the family.

  • Play it on the screen at the service or the gathering
  • Send it by link to family who couldn't be there
  • Save the video to keep

Add it from the song's page once the song arrives. You add the photos after the song is ready.

Where families play a memorial song

  • At the funeral or celebration of life, while the photos play
  • At the graveside, or when everyone gathers afterwards
  • On their birthday, the anniversary and the first holidays without them
  • Sent by link to family who couldn't be there

Gentle, and in your words

Share whatever you can. Some families write a page, some write three sentences. The song keeps their name, their sayings and your stories, and it stays gentle, or upbeat if that's what they would have wanted.

If your family has faith, choose the Worship style or mention it in your story. The song follows your words.

Keep them close

  • A photo video: after the song arrives, add their photos and watch the words appear as they're sung. Play it at the service, or send it to family far away
  • A printable lyric keepsake with a QR code that plays the song, for a frame at home or a table at the service (in the Forever Memory Package at checkout)
  • The MP3 for the venue's speakers or the slideshow, in the same package

What is a memorial song?

A memorial song is an original song about someone who has died, written with their name and your memories of them. Families play it at the service and keep it for anniversaries, their birthday and the hard days.

How fast can a memorial song be ready?

Within 24 hours. If the service is very soon, priority delivery is usually ready in about 1 hour.

How much does a custom memorial song cost?

$29 for their song. At checkout, the Forever Memory Package adds a printable lyric keepsake with a QR code, an album cover made from your photo, a second version of the song in another style, the MP3 and the full lyrics. After the song arrives, you can add a photo video for $14.99.

Can we play it at the service?

Yes. You can play it at the funeral, the memorial service, church and family events, and share it with family and friends. It comes as a private link that plays on any phone or computer. For the venue's sound system or a slideshow, the MP3 comes with the Forever Memory Package.

Can it be a Christian or worship song?

Yes. Choose the Worship style, or mention your faith in your story, and the song follows your family's own words.

Can the song be upbeat?

Yes. Write "make it upbeat" when you tell us about them, and choose the style they loved. Otherwise the song stays gentle.

Can I change a line?
