Custom Memorial and Tribute Songs
A memorial song holds a whole life in a few minutes of music. Families commission one when a eulogy is not enough — when what they need is something to play at the service, and again on the anniversary, and again on the birthday that still gets marked. The song is built from what you tell us: the phrases the person always said, the work of their hands, the faith they carried, the way they showed love without ever announcing it.
These songs get written from different angles depending on what the family needs. Some are written in your voice, speaking to the person you lost. Others are written as though from them, which is a comfort many families say they did not know they wanted until they heard it. Some are quiet and reverent; some carry the humor the person was known for, because grief and laughing about someone are not opposites.
There is no deadline on honoring a life. Families commission these for funerals and celebrations of life, but just as often years later, when they are finally ready to sit with it. If a service is coming quickly, Priority Delivery brings turnaround to 24 hours; otherwise standard delivery is 7 days from the time you complete the questionnaire.
If you are considering one, gather the stories first — the sayings, the recipes, the routines, the things that would make someone who knew them nod in recognition. Those details are what make the song theirs rather than a generic song about loss. Families tell us the same sentence afterward more than any other: it said what we could not.
Families use these songs in more places than the service itself. They play at celebrations of life, behind photo tributes, at graveside visits, and quietly at home on the days grief keeps on its own calendar. Many choose a style shaped by the hymns or records the person loved, which makes the song sound like it belongs to them before a single lyric lands. There is no wrong way to use it once it is yours.
How it works
- Tell us the story. A five-minute questionnaire about the person, the occasion, and the details only you know.
- We write and produce it. Songwriters and producers build an original recording with real vocals, in the style you choose.
- You share it. Your song arrives on a private page with unlimited streaming and a link you can send to anyone.
A custom song is $99, a one-time payment. Standard delivery is 7 days from the time you complete the questionnaire and pay. For the full process, see how it works.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What details should a memorial song include?
- The things that would make someone who knew them recognize them instantly: phrases they repeated, their work, their faith, their humor, how they treated people, and one or two stories the family still tells. You can also tell us what you would want said to them if you had one more conversation.
- Can the song be ready in time for a service?
- Often, yes. Standard delivery is 7 days from the time you complete the questionnaire and pay, and Priority Delivery is a paid add-on at checkout that brings turnaround to 24 hours when a service is close.
- Can a memorial song be written years after a loss?
- Yes, and many are. Some of the most affecting tributes are commissioned long afterward, on a milestone anniversary or when a family finally feels ready. There is no point at which it becomes too late.
