Where to begin
What to say about your dad
Most people begin by trying to sum him up, and get stuck. Don’t sum him up. Begin with the small true things, because those are what the room will recognise. These are the ones we’ll ask you about.
What he always said
The catchphrase, the telling-off, the thing he said every time you left the house. One line of his is worth a page of anyone else’s.
The story everyone tells
You already know which one. Tell it the way you’d tell a friend, and we’ll ask what he said or did next.
The small things
What was in his pockets. How he took his tea. Where he always sat. Nobody else’s dad had quite the same ones.
What he taught you
Often without meaning to. It makes a good ending, and it only needs two or three sentences.
If he was a man of few words, short answers are fine. Half-sentences are fine. You can skip any question after his name and yours.
Why it sounds like them
We ask the way a good listener would
A eulogy is only as good as the memories in it. So this isn’t a form. Say they were stubborn and we’ll ask for a time they were. Tell us a story and we’ll ask what they said next. Those small true details are what the room will recognise.
Tap the microphone and say it the way you’d tell a friend. You may find you remember more out loud. If you’d rather type, type.
- You can see everything we’ve kept, at any time
- A few follow-up questions at most, and you can skip any of them
- Stop whenever you need to. It will be here when you come back
More than one voice
Ask the family for their memories too
Other people will remember things you don’t. Send a few people a private link. They write or say a paragraph, with nothing to sign up for. You read everything first, and for each memory we show you how it could go in.
1 · You ask
2 · They write, or say, a paragraph
3 · You choose how it goes in
Try them. Each shows how it would read, and how long it adds when spoken.
From our fictional sample. Nothing goes in unless you choose it. Asking the family is free, and it doesn’t use up a round of changes.
For the day itself
A copy made for reading aloud
Writing it is half the worry. Standing up and reading it is the other half. So every eulogy comes with a reading copy:
- One breath to a line, so you never run out of air mid-sentence
- Pauses marked: / for a beat, // to let a moment land
- Names in bold, so you can look up and find your place again
- Large, clear print that works through tears and without your glasses
Look up at the end of a line, not the middle. Nobody minds a pause.
The last page of our fictional sample. It prints on A4 at 18 point. Fold it in three and it fits an inside pocket.
How it works
Talk to us about them
Tap the microphone and talk, or type. We listen, and now and then ask a little more, the way a celebrant would at your kitchen table. About ten minutes. Skip whatever you like.
Read how it begins
Tell us where to send it, and read the opening straight away. If it doesn’t sound like them, add a detail and we’ll write it again, free.
Make it yours
The full eulogy is £39, paid once. Two rounds of changes are included: tell us everything you’d like different, we ask about anything unclear, then rewrite. Then print your reading copy.
An example
When I was nine I left my bike out, and the bin lorry ran over it.
I thought Dad would go mad. He just looked at it for a while. Then he said, “It’ll mend,” and he carried it down to the shed. Three nights later it was back. Straighter than when it was new. And green. It had been red. Green was the paint he had.
From a sample eulogy for a dad called Ken, written from a fictional set of answers so you can see what to expect. Your dad’s will be made of his own sayings and stories. Read all of it.
Paid once. No subscription.
The conversation and the opening are free. You only pay if you want the rest.

Drafted by AI, working only from what you tell us.
Plainly
How it’s written
Your eulogy is drafted by AI, working only from what you tell us. It’s told never to invent a name, a story or a fact, and a second check reads every draft against your answers. Where something’s missing, it asks you. You check every line before you use it.
We say so plainly because you ought to know, and because it’s why this costs £39, where a professional writer often charges two hundred pounds or more. The memories are yours. The shaping is ours. The final word is always yours.
- What it does
- Asks about them, the way a celebrant would. Drafts the eulogy from your answers. Checks the draft against them, line by line.
- What it never does
- Invent a name, a story or a fact. Pretend to be a person. Learn from what you tell it: your words are not used to train AI.
- Where your words are kept
- Encrypted, in the UK. The AI model that drafts from them runs in the EU, under a contract that forbids using your words for training.
- How long for
- Deleted 30 days after your last visit, or 30 days after the funeral date you gave us if that is later. You can delete everything sooner from your private link, or by emailing us. The details are in our privacy notice.
Questions people ask
What if I don’t know what to say?
Half-sentences are fine. “He always had a mint in his pocket” is worth more than a paragraph of fine words. We’ll ask a little more where it helps, and you can skip any question after their name and yours.
Can I really just talk?
Yes. Tap the microphone and say it the way you’d tell a friend. You may find you remember more out loud. You’ll see your words appear and can correct anything. If you’d rather type, type.
What if I don’t know his whole life story?
You don’t need it. A eulogy isn’t a biography. Where he was born, who he married and what he did is plenty, and you can skip anything you’re not sure of. If someone else knows the rest, send them a private link and they can add a memory of their own. Nothing is guessed: where something is missing, we ask you or leave it out.
What if it isn’t right?
Two rounds of changes are included. Put everything you’d like different in one go; we’ll ask about anything unclear, then rewrite, and show you exactly what changed. If it still isn’t right, email us within 14 days of paying and we’ll refund you in full. You don’t need to give a reason.
What if I cry?
Then you cry, and nobody minds. Every person in the room is on your side. The reading copy is printed large, one breath to a line, so you can stop, breathe and find your place again. Give a spare copy to someone who could finish it for you. You almost certainly won’t need them to.
Start with his name.
The rest will come. We’ll help.
