What to put in your email
Four things, and none of them hard
Which service, roughly
A eulogy, an obituary, a poem, a few short messages — or simply describe the situation and we will tell you which one fits. If you are unsure, that is fine.
The date you need it by
This is the most important line in your email. It decides whether we can take the work on at all, so put it near the top.
Who it is for
Their name and your relationship to them. Nothing more is needed at this stage — the memories come later, through a private form.
Anything you are worried about
A complicated relationship, a detail the family will not want mentioned, a fixed slot in the service. Tell us early and it shapes everything.
What happens next
Three steps, and no payment until step two
1
You email us
Send the four things above. No forms to fight with, no account to create, and no card details anywhere on this website.
2
We confirm, then you pay
If we can meet your date, a secure payment link reaches you within 20 minutes to 3 hours. If you have not heard from us within 3 hours our schedule is full for that date — you are welcome to try again in 48 hours.
3
You share your memories
A short private form follows, and the writing starts. Your words come back by email, ready to print in large type.
Ready when you are
One email, and it is in hand

Before you write
Questions people ask first
The funeral is in two days. Can you still help?
Often, yes — but say so in the first line of your email. We will tell you honestly within a few hours whether we can meet it rather than taking the work and letting you down.
Do I have to pay before you reply?
No. Nothing is charged until we have confirmed we can meet your date, and no card details are ever entered on this website.
What if I do not know which service I need?
Describe what has happened and what you have been asked to do. We will point you at the right one — including telling you if the cheapest option is enough, or if you do not need us at all.
Is what I send private?
Always. What you share is used only to write your piece. We never publish it, never use it as an example and never share it with anyone.
