A tribute draft that shapes what is already yours
Whether you have started writing or are still facing a blank page, we turn your memories into a clear, structured tribute draft — and help you uncover the moments you had not thought to include.

A calm way forward
The words are yours. The structure is ours.
Grief makes language slippery. You can hold a hundred memories of someone and still not know which one belongs in the first line, or how to move from a childhood story to the last year without the whole thing collapsing.
A tribute draft solves that. You send what you have — notes, half-sentences, a voice-note transcript — and a writer returns a complete draft with your memories in an order that carries an audience, plus prompts for the gaps worth filling. It stays unmistakably yours; you simply stop starting from nothing.
If this sounds familiar
Most people arrive with one of these
“Nothing I write sounds right yet.”
You have tried three openings and deleted all of them. A draft gives you something solid to react to, which is far easier than inventing from scratch.
“I have notes everywhere.”
Phone notes, the back of an envelope, messages from relatives. Send them exactly as they are — ordering them is our job, not yours.
“I want it to sound like me.”
Not like a template and not like a machine. We write in your register, and mark the places where your own phrasing will land better than ours.
“I am afraid of forgetting something.”
The reflection prompts are built for this: they surface small rituals and shared habits that rarely come to mind under pressure, before the service rather than after.
How it works
Three steps, and none of them rushed
1
Share what you have
A short private form asks who the tribute is for, your relationship, and a few memories. Bullet points are perfectly welcome. Nothing is charged at this point.
2
We draft it
A writer — never a generator — shapes your memories into a complete draft, then adds reflection prompts and speaking tips for the day itself.
3
You personalise it
The draft arrives by email within 24–48 hours, ready to print in large type. Change any line you like — it is yours to work with.
Ready when you are
Choose the length that suits the day
Every option carries the same care, the same reflection prompts and the same speaking guidance. The only difference is length.

Before you order
Questions about tribute drafts
Will the draft sound like me, or will it feel generic?
It is written from your memories, in your register, so it should already sound close. Where a line would land better in your own phrasing, the draft marks it so you know exactly where to put yourself back in.
What do I need to send you?
Less than you think. Their name, your relationship, two or three memories, and anything you would rather we left out. Bullet points, voice-note transcripts and photographs of handwritten notes are all welcome.
What exactly is included?
A complete tribute draft, reflection prompts to surface the details that rarely come to mind under pressure, personalisation guidance, and speaking tips covering pacing and what to do if your voice goes.
Can I change the draft once I receive it?
Freely, and we expect you to. The draft is yours to rework as much or as little as you wish. If you would prefer a finished tribute you do not have to touch, our fully written service includes two rounds of revisions instead.
How long should a tribute be?
Most sit between 450 and 1,500 words, which is roughly 4 to 12 minutes spoken. Grief slows your reading, so leave room to breathe. If you have a fixed slot, tell us and we write to it exactly.
When do I pay?
Not on this site. You send your request first, we check we can meet your date, then email a secure payment link — usually within 20 minutes to 3 hours. If you have not heard from us within 3 hours our schedule is full for that date, and you are welcome to try again in 48 hours.
