Write a beautiful obituary.

Writing about someone you loved, days after losing them, is one of the hardest small tasks there is. This will help: a few plain questions, answered in your own words, and a dignified draft you can edit, keep, and hand to the funeral home.

It is not open yet. We are building it slowly, because this is not a thing to get almost right.

When it opens

We will write to you once.

One email, when it works. No list, no sequence, nothing else — and if you need something today, the funeral home you are working with can help now.

How it will work

Three steps, in your own words.

  1. 01

    Tell it about them

    Plain questions — where they were born, who they leave, what they were like on an ordinary Tuesday. Answer the ones you can and skip the rest.

  2. 02

    Read the draft

    A complete obituary in ordinary English, at the length the paper or the funeral home asks for. No flourishes you did not ask for.

  3. 03

    Make it yours

    Edit anything. The words are yours to change, to shorten, and to send wherever you need them.

What this will never be

Two promises, made now rather than later.

We write about a person, never as them.
No simulated voice, no messages from someone who has died, nothing that pretends to be them. An obituary written in the third person, finite, and yours to edit — that is the whole of it.
We do not host obituaries.
The draft goes to you. It does not become a page we own, sell advertising against, or keep after you are done — and nothing you write here becomes advertising data.
If a service is coming

The guestbook, on an iPad you already have.

Funeral Guestbook replaces the paper book at the service. Guests sign with any stylus, and afterward every name and message comes back to you.
