What you get

Everything that arrives, from $9.

Written and sung by AI from what you tell us. We say so plainly, because you will hear it and because the part that matters — the details — came from you.

Prices shown in US dollars. In the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand you are charged in your own currency at checkout.

What it does with them

How one detail becomes a line.

The kind of thing people type about a memorial, and the kind of line it comes back as. Written examples — the songs above are the real ones.

You writeHe answered the phone saying you rang

It singsEvery call began the same, and I still hear it ring

You writeNobody else was allowed in his chair

It singsThe chair is still there and nobody sits down

You writeShe fed every cat on the street

It singsHalf the street still comes to the door at six

Before you ask

Questions people ask.

Is a memorial song appropriate to give to a grieving family?

Usually yes, and it lands best when it is specific rather than solemn. What people react to is recognising the person, a real habit or phrase, not the word "loss". If you are unsure, send it privately to one person first and let them decide who else hears it.

Can I choose something gentle rather than upbeat?

Yes. You pick the musical style, and for a tribute most people choose something quiet, piano, acoustic, or a slow folk arrangement. You hear it before anyone else does.

How soon after a death is too soon?

There is no fixed answer and it depends on the family. Some people make one for the funeral; others wait until the first anniversary, when the cards have stopped and it is quieter. If you are unsure, send it to one close relative and let them decide the moment.

Can I make one for a pet?

Yes, and people do. Say what they were like rather than that they were loved: where they slept, what they did when you came home, the habit that annoyed everybody. It comes back as the same kind of song.

What if I did not know them well?

Then write from the one thing you did see. A song from a neighbour about the person who always cleared both paths in the snow is more use to a family than a general tribute, because it tells them something they did not have.

Can it be played at the funeral or the wake?

You get an MP3 to download, so it can be given to whoever runs the sound. Read the words through first with one other member of the family; you can change the brief and have it re-sung before anyone else hears it.

How much does a personalized song cost?

Three lengths: $9 for about a minute, $29 for about two minutes, and $49 for about four minutes, with more re-records and an ending that signs off from you by name. One payment, no subscription.

How long does it take?

Minutes. You answer the questions, read the words, and the recording is made while you wait, there is no queue and no human songwriter to book. Most people finish the whole thing in under a quarter of an hour.

Is it written by a person or by AI?

AI writes and sings it from the details you give. We say so on every page rather than burying it, because you will hear it in the vocal. What is not automated is the part that makes it land: the specifics come from you, and you read the words before you pay.

What if I do not like it?

You see the first verse and chorus before paying, so the usual answer is to change your answers and go again for nothing. After paying, the Little and Big Ditty include re-records if a take comes out wrong.

Can I keep it, and does the link expire?

It does not expire. You get an MP3 to download and a link you can share, and we keep the song indefinitely, there is no window you have to act inside.

Can I play it at a party or an event?

Yes. It comes with a licence to play it at your own event, and the MP3 is yours to hand to a DJ or put on a phone. Use the download rather than the link if the venue wifi is unreliable.

Two minutes to tell their story.

We write it, sing it, and paint the card. You take the credit. From $9.
