Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions page for eulogy and tribute writing services. We understand that creating a heartfelt eulogy or memorial tribute can be a challenging and emotional process.

Our goal is to offer support and guidance through every step, from crafting the right words to ensuring your speech contains your memories, honouring your loved one or someone special.

Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our services, helping to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

  • We use a small number of carefully chosen writing tools, some of which have AI built in. These tools may help generate an initial working draft — much like an experienced team member would. What matters most is how that starting point is guided and directed.

    AI-enabled tools bring access to a wide range of language patterns, cultural context, and sensitivities that no single person could reasonably hold alone. That breadth helps establish strong early structure, which is then carefully shaped and refined by a human — often over many iterations — until the words feel right.

    Most people already use quiet forms of AI every day — from writing suggestions to predictive text — without thinking about it. We use similar tools in a more careful and responsible way, always under experienced human oversight.

    Every tribute is shaped around the memories you provide. Nothing is sent automatically, and final decisions, emotional judgment, and responsibility for every word always remain with a human.

    Our writing processes, supported by the latest tools, allow us to deliver high-quality, human-led writing services at very competitive prices — giving you time and space to focus on what matters most.

  • We can only work from the notes and memories you share — and that’s by design. No one can ever fully capture how you think or write, but by listening closely to your tone, phrasing, and emotional focus, we work hard to shape a tribute that feels as natural as possible.

    We use modern tools to analyse rhythm, sentence flow, and word choice, but never to imitate you — only to help us understand your writing style more clearly. Every tribute is then refined by a real person, ensuring it sounds warm, human, and true to your intentions.

    That’s where our services shine — from Tribute Drafts, which give you a strong foundation to personalise, to our Full Writing Services, which includes up to two complimentary revisions to help you fine-tune tone and phrasing until it feels completely right.

    Our goal is simple: to help your tribute truly honour your loved one — feeling authentic and comfortable to read aloud.

  • The process below applies to our full writing services (e.g., fully written tributes and elegy poems):

    1. We receive your memories (You) — You share your stories, notes, and supporting uploads (such as pictures or documents) using our secure forms, giving us a full picture of the person you want to honour.

    2. Initial review (DBS) — A member of the DBS team carefully reviews everything you’ve shared, noting important themes, tone, and key details. If anything needs clarification or expansion, we’ll contact you directly to better understand your wishes.

    3. Draft creation (DBS) — Using secure writing tools, we organise and shape an initial draft based on your stories, materials, and any clarifications or preferences discussed with you.

    4. Expert review & reshaping (DBS) — We refine and reshape the draft, drawing on our experience to ensure it feels personal, heartfelt, and aligned with your intentions.

    5. Client review (You) — You review the draft and share your thoughts, highlighting anything you’d like adjusted.

    6. Adjustments & refinements (DBS) — We integrate your feedback (manually and with advanced tools where appropriate), making thoughtful refinements to ensure the tribute reflects your wishes. If needed, this review‑and‑refine process can be repeated a second time so you’re fully happy with the result.

    7. Final polish & delivery (DBS) — We perform a last detailed review for flow, tone, accuracy, and formatting, then deliver the final tribute in a ready‑to‑use format. Guidance for presenting or sharing can also be provided if needed.

    This collaborative, step‑by‑step approach ensures the final piece is authentic, meaningful, and truly worthy of the person you want to honour.

    For our Initial Draft service: Steps 1–4 apply.

    For our Tribute Review service: We follow a different review‑only process, providing detailed written feedback to help you improve your own draft.
