Where to begin

What to say about your sister

If you grew up together, you remember her at seven and at seventeen, and nobody else can give the room that. Don’t try to sum her up. Begin with the small true things. These are the ones we’ll ask you about.

  • Early on

    If you grew up together, one memory from then, told plainly. Where you were, and what she said.

  • What she always said

    Her nickname for you. The phrase the whole family can finish. One line of hers is worth a page of anyone else’s.

  • The woman she became

    What she did, who she loved, what she was proud of. A few sentences. It isn’t a CV.

  • What the others remember

    Other people knew sides of her you didn’t: friends, workmates, the rest of the family. Ask them by private link, and choose what goes in.

Not every sister was easy. It can be honest and still kind. Only what you tell us goes in, and nothing is added to make her sound like someone else.

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. The funny ones too. 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
From our fictional sample. Susan says her mum was stubborn, so the next question asks for a time she was. Three things she said have been kept.

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.

  • No account or password for them. They write it, or say it, in their own time
  • We email each person once, and once more only if you send a reminder
  • With the full eulogy, our AI suggests where each memory could go: woven in, its own paragraph, or in their words
  • Only you and our AI read them, and nothing goes in unless you choose it

Asking the family is free. Putting their memories in comes with the full eulogy (£39), and uses no round of changes.

Our fictional sample: Susan’s eulogy for her mum, Dot. Our AI suggests where Mark’s memory could go and how to word it; Susan chooses.

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
  • A second copy for someone else to read, with a front sheet saying whose words they are, how the marks work and how to carry on
  • Practise on your phone before the day: one line at a time, in large print, and it tells you how long it took

Look up at the end of a line, not the middle. Nobody minds a pause.

So, Mum./Thank you.For the gloves,/and the beans,/and the minibus,/and the Sundays.//We’ll turn up.(breathe)I’ll put the kettle on.

How it works

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

If you asked anyone here for a word about Mum, I know the first one you’d get. Stubborn. She did the crossword in pen. And when she was wrong, she was wrong in pen.

The second word would be generous. Nobody left that house without a carrier bag of runner beans. You could have called round to read the meter and you’d have gone home with beans.

From a sample eulogy for “Dot”, written from a fictional set of answers so you can see what to expect. Your sister’s will be made of her 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.

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. 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 my family add things?

Yes, and it’s free. Send a few people a private link by email, or copy a person’s link and send it to them yourself. They don’t need an account: they write or say a paragraph, it saves as they go, and they can come back and change it. Only you and our AI read what they send. With the full eulogy, our AI shows you how each memory would read woven into what you say, as its own paragraph, or in their own words, and you choose. We email each person once, and once more only if you send a reminder. We never email them about anything else.

Will it sound like me, or like a greetings card?

Like you. It’s written for speaking, in plain British English, using your own phrases wherever it can. We keep a list of funeral clichés it isn’t allowed to use.

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. You can practise it on your phone first, one line at a time. And there is a second copy for someone who could carry on for you, with a front sheet saying how. You almost certainly won’t need them to.

Start with her name.

The rest will come. We’ll help.
