Memorial & tribute songs
A memorial song to keep their memory playing.
Some people are too big to fit in a eulogy. A memorial song holds what a speech can't — the way they said your name, the thing they always did, who they were to everyone in the room — in something you can play long after the service.
We treat these with the care they deserve. Many people tell us it's the most meaningful gift they've ever given, to themselves or to family. Share the memories and the sound that fits them, and we'll handle the rest gently.

What a eulogy can't hold, a song can.
Hear what a memory sounds like.
One story, three different sounds. This demo was written for a fictional family, because our real customers' songs belong to them. Yours will be built from your story.
The Porch Still Sings
A homegoing celebration, full of light.
Written for Granddaddy Joe: blues on the porch radio, tomatoes in the garden, dominoes he never once let the grandkids win, and if the Lord say the same before every plan.
In Memory
A tribute song holds the stories the obituary could not. Their sayings, their Saturday sounds, the love they left running through the family. Made gently, reviewed with care.
- ✓ Celebrates a life in the music they actually loved
- ✓ Handled with the tenderness this deserves, every time
- ✓ Families tell us it becomes the thing they play to feel close

P.S. All three versions share the same lyrics. That is our second style add-on doing its thing: one story, two totally different songs.

Or give them a song that's only about them.
A beloved hymn says what everyone feels. A memorial song says who they were: their name in the chorus, the thing they always said, the garden, the kitchen, the way they made everybody feel like family. It's the one song at the service nobody else has ever heard, because it was written for them.
Families play it during the slideshow, at the repast, or graveside, then keep it for birthdays and the hard anniversaries. You share the memories and choose the sound, whether that's a choir-backed homegoing, the old soul they loved, or something quiet and acoustic. We write it and have it ready within 48 hours.
Start a memorial songQuestions, answered
What is a custom memorial song?+
It's an original song written about one specific person who has passed. We write the lyrics from the memories you share, including their name, the things they said, and what they meant to your family, then produce it as a full song in the sound you choose. It's theirs alone, and it's yours to keep and share.
Can we play it at the funeral or in a slideshow?+
Yes. You receive a full-length song file you can play at the service, set under a memorial slideshow or video, share with family who couldn't be there, or keep for private moments.
Do you write memorial and funeral songs?+
We do, and we treat them with real care. Whether it's for a service, a celebration of life, or just for the family, we work with you closely to get every word right.
What do you need from me?+
The memories that matter most — one thing they used to say, where they were at their happiest, what you want people to remember. There are no wrong answers, and you can share as much or as little as feels right.
Can it be ready for the service?+
Standard delivery is within 48 hours of payment, and rush delivery brings it to 12 hours. Tell us your date on the form and we'll make sure it's in time.
Can the whole family be part of it?+
Yes. Many families gather memories together first. Add a keepsake lyric sheet so everyone can have the words to keep.
How much is a memorial song?+
The regular price is $59, and we run seasonal sales — you'll see today's exact price, plus any add-ons, on the pricing page and before you pay. Every song includes a printable lyric sheet and revisions until it feels true to them.
