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.

  • Yes — but not in the way you might think, and we are not an AI platform. Like most writing professionals today, we use a range of modern tools to support our processes — but every tribute is personally crafted, shaped, and refined by real people whose sole goal is to work closely with you and the memories you share.

    Most software these days — from word processors to email apps — has AI built in, whether on smartphones, tablets, or computers. We’ve gone a step further: after extensive research, we use only carefully selected systems that operate in a strictly controlled, privacy‑first way, and our team is expert at using these tools effectively and responsibly.

    We do not use public AI platforms. Our tools are configured with robust security protections, processing your data locally whenever possible — ensuring it is never stored, shared, or used to train external models (learn more).

    We use these tools much like a traditional skilled assistant — helping to organise ideas, explore phrasing, and streamline early drafts — while our experienced team ensures every draft is continuously refined until it feels just right: personal, heartfelt, and worthy of the person it honours. This blended approach allows us to deliver tributes that are deeply personal, high‑quality, and fairly priced.

  • 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.
