PictureSongs

For independent funeral directors

Made from their own words. Released under your name.

A family tells us about the person they have lost. We write and record an original song from what they say, and set it to the photographs they choose. They shape the words themselves, and nothing is released under your name until you have watched it and said so.

See what we makeHow it works

Been given a link by your funeral director? What to do

You set the price. We charge a fixed rate. The difference is yours.

PictureSongs is wholesale. You decide what the family pays and it appears on your own funeral invoice at your own price; we invoice you a fixed rate set in your contract, monthly, in arrears. Our guide retail price is around £149.

How the pricing works

Why a director stocks it

  • Offered, never pushed

    One line in the arrangement meeting and a demo on a tablet. You state your price up front and the family decides in their own time. If it does not suit them, you leave it out and nothing has been lost — this is meant to be the opposite of a risk to a relationship you have spent years building.

  • Released under your own name

    Every page the family sees, the film itself and the hub they keep carry your home’s branding, not ours. The family shapes the words and approves them; then it comes to you, and nothing is released until you have watched the finished tribute and recorded that you have.

  • Safe on the lines that matter

    The song is original and made on commercially-licensed engines, so a keepsake a family keeps and shares does not lean on the funeral waiver, which does not cover a recording. Whoever uploads a photograph asserts they have the right to.

The sector finding behind this: meaningful conversations in the arrangement meeting lift add-on purchases by around 58%. This is a conversation worth having whether or not the family says yes.

What it asks of you

Four things, and only two of them take your time.

  1. Step 1. You prime it from your notes

    Paste your arrangement-meeting notes, or a notetaker transcript. We pull out the brief and ask only about what is genuinely missing — including flagging a sensitive death, so the writing treads carefully.

  2. Step 2. The family adds photographs and memories

    A link by text or email, no password and no account, so an 80-year-old widow and a grandson three counties away can both add something over two evenings at home.

  3. Step 3. You review and release

    When the family approve, it arrives in your queue. You watch it, record that you have, and release it — or send it back with a note. One meaningful review per tribute, and it is yours.

  4. Step 4. They keep it

    A permanent, private place under your branding that they come back to, and their own master file to hold. It is not a link that expires after the service.
The whole process, step by step

What the family is given

  • The song

    An original recording, with words written from what the family told us about the person — the allotment, the phrase he always said. It is always deliverable: when there are too few photographs for a film, the song alone is a complete tribute, not a failed one.

  • The film

    Their own photographs, moving with the music, with the words on screen. Their real pictures — we do not generate video of the person who died, and never will.

  • The keepsake

    Private by default, shareable by a link they can switch off again, and theirs indefinitely — played on her birthday, shown to grandchildren who never met her.

What we will and will not do

Licensed music, verified engines

We use commercially-licensed AI music engines, at least two qualified at any time, and we do not work with one that will not confirm in writing that it neither trains on nor retains what we send it.

A human gate, and it is yours

Every draft is screened before a family ever sees it, and one that reads as sensitive is held for you rather than shown. Nothing is released to a family without your recorded review — that step cannot be skipped or automated away.

Stored in the UK, private by default

The photographs and recordings a family gives you are stored in UK data centres. A keepsake is private to the family and to you, and a share link they create is one they can switch off again.

Three things we will never build

We will never clone or imitate the voice of the person who died. We will never generate video of them — the film is the family’s own photographs and nothing else. And we will never build something that talks as them. Families are told plainly that the tribute is AI-made; that is a feature, not a disclaimer.
