What we make

One thing, made three ways, and kept for good.

There is one product. A song written from a family’s own memories, a film cut from their own photographs, and a permanent private place to keep both. You offer the Tribute; there is nothing to choose between and nothing to upsell.

The song

The guaranteed part. When a family has too few photographs for a film, the song alone is the whole tribute — complete, not diminished.

  1. Step 1. The family tells us about the person

    Photographs, and the things behind them — who this is, why this one matters, the phrase he always said. The words are written from that, not from a template with a name dropped into it.
  2. Step 2. They read the words before anything is sung

    The whole lyric, in front of them, before a note is recorded. If verse two misses the allotment they edit verse two. Up to 8 drafts of the words per tribute, and nothing is committed until they are content with them.
  3. Step 3. The song is recorded

    An original recording in a voice chosen to suit the music — never an imitation of the person who died. Up to 3 recordings per tribute: enough to get it right, few enough that nobody is left endlessly re-rolling a slot machine at a funeral.

The film

Their own photographs, cut to the song. Where a family has told us who is in a picture, or what it is of, that picture lands on the line about them — the verse about the allotment over the photograph of the allotment. The rest carry the song between those moments. The words appear on screen as they are sung.

What it is

An MP4 film at 1920×1080, H.264 and AAC, written so it starts playing before it has finished downloading. It plays in a browser, off a phone, or from a memory stick at the crematorium.

What it is not

No generated imagery of the person who died. No animating a still photograph so they appear to move or blink. No synthetic voice standing in for theirs. The film contains their real pictures and nothing that was invented about them.

A family can have the film re-cut up to 5 times without the song being recorded again. A re-cut re-arranges the same photographs into a different order; the pictures matched to a named person stay on their lines, and so do the opening and closing shots. It is a different arrangement, not a different edit — if a particular photograph is wrong for a particular line, that is a change to the words or the material, not a re-cut.

The keepsake

A place, not a link that expires

A permanent page under your branding that the family comes back to. It stays reachable even if your account with us lapses — a delivered keepsake is never withheld from a family over a bill.

Private until they say otherwise

Private by default, and never published, sold or made searchable. If they want to share it with relatives who could not come, they create a link — and they can switch it off again. There is a QR code for the order of service if they want one.

A copy they hold themselves

They download the finished tribute as their own file — the film, or the song where there is no film. That copy does not depend on us being here in ten years, which is the only honest version of “yours to keep”.

We keep it indefinitely and nothing expires it. If a family asks us to delete it, we do, at any time.

All of it under your name

Every surface a family touches carries your home’s name, logo and colours. The browser tab, the preview that appears when they forward the link to an aunt, and the text or email that brings them in — all of it says your name. None of it says ours.

What we will never do

  • 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.
  • We will never build something that talks as them. A tribute is a thing you keep, not a person you visit.

And families are told plainly that the tribute is AI-made. That is a feature of how we work, not a disclaimer at the bottom of a page.

Formats, and what a family can ask for

The limits are here rather than in a contract, because a limit a family meets for the first time on their third try is a complaint you will field, not us.
