Songbituary™: A life story, sung.

An original song whose lyrics tell the story of someone you love, or your own story in your own words. A musical obituary that goes beyond meeting the eye, to embrace the hearts of those left behind.

How it works

1

Tell the story

A gentle conversation, in person or by Zoom. We gather who they loved, what they believed, the traditions they leave behind, and the way they made people feel.

2

We create the song

Their story becomes the lyrics to original music. You review the lyrics with two rounds of changes, and the song is ready within 72 hours.

3

Keep it forever

The song, lyrics and a lyric sheet to keep and share however you wish, with a QR code so family can listen for years to come.

Honor someone you love

A musical obituary for the celebration of life, with a tribute video of their photos and home movies, and QR memorial cards.

Tell your own story

Your story, in your own voice, becomes your song, a legacy keepsake for your family and a say in your future celebration of life. A meaningful gift for parents and grandparents, and for those in hospice.
