Can I use a memorial song at a funeral?

Yes. You get an MP3 download you own, so it can be played at a service, a wake, or a remembrance gathering.

How do I write about someone who has died?

You do not have to write anything. The prompts ask gentle, concrete questions — what they taught you, what you always said to each other, the place or smell that was them — and the lyrics are written from your answers. You can edit every line before it is sung.

Will it be too upbeat?

No. Memorial songs default to a bittersweet mood, and you choose the genre yourself before anything is recorded.

A memorial song to keep theirs playing

Grief runs out of formats quickly. There are only so many photographs and only so many ways to say the same sentence at a service. A memorial song gives the memories somewhere to go, and gives everyone else something to sit with.

Written from what you remember, in a mood that stays gentle unless you ask it not to.

The garden kept on growing without you,
stubborn as the man who planted it —
we still call it yours.

From a memorial song written for a grandfather

For a service, or for years after

Some people make these for a funeral or a memorial. More make them on a birthday, a death anniversary, or an ordinary Tuesday when it got heavy. There is no right timing, and the song does not expire.

It stays gentle

This occasion defaults to a bittersweet mood and a quieter palette. The prompts ask what they taught you, what you always said to each other, and the smell or place that is simply them — not the circumstances of the loss.

Something to share with the family
