Tell us your stories

Who they were to you, two or three stories, the people to name.

We shape it, gently

Only your stories, in your voice. Nothing made up.

Ready within 1 day

The eulogy, plus a large-type reading copy. One free round of changes.

Before and after

Your stories. Words you can get through.

Before: the notes“Dad. Fixed everyone's cars for free. Never missed one of my games even when he was tired. Terrible jokes. Taught me to drive in the Tesco car park. Married to Mum 44 years.”

After: the opening“If you ever had a car that wouldn't start on a Sunday, you probably already knew my dad. He'd be under it before you'd finished asking, and he would not take a penny, though he would take a cup of tea and forty minutes of your afternoon. He fixed things. That is the simplest true thing I can say about him, and it was never only cars.”

Sample. The father and the notes are made up.

Pay by card. The checkout asks for your order code from the form below, or the name of the person the eulogy is for.

Will it sound like me?

Yes. It is built from your stories and your words for them, in the tone you choose: warm, plain, funny where they were funny. You read it and change anything before the day.

How long will it take to read?

Five to seven minutes at a steady pace, 700 to 1,000 words. If the celebrant has given you a shorter or longer slot, say so on the form and we fit it.

What if I only have a few memories?

A few true stories are enough; that is what people remember. Anything missing comes back as a gentle question, never a guess, and nothing you did not send goes in.

Every line comes from the stories you give us. We never invent names, dates, places or stories, and we leave out anything you ask us to. You read it and change what you like before the day. Nothing is published anywhere. Refund: if it is late, or you are unhappy within 7 days and we cannot fix it, you get your money back. Need the newspaper notice as well? That is the obituary, a separate order.
