Frequently Asked Questions

We use modern writing tools — many of which now include AI in some form — to support the process. But every tribute is shaped by a real person, from start to finish.

Many people come to us after trying to write something themselves — sometimes even using online tools — and finding it difficult to bring everything together in a way that feels right.

These tools can help organise ideas or explore phrasing, much like features you’ll find in everyday writing software. But they don’t replace human judgement — especially when it comes to tone, meaning, and making something feel personal.

What matters most is that your tribute is shaped around your memories — with attention to how it feels to say, how it reflects your voice, and what feels right for you.

Nothing is ever auto-generated or sent without human care. Every word is guided, refined, and approved by someone who understands how personal this moment is.

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.
