Our Process: How We Create Human‑Crafted Tributes
Blending human care with secure modern tools to create tributes that truly honour a life.
Every tribute we create is the result of a thoughtful, step‑by‑step process that blends secure, modern writing tools (some with AI features) with the careful attention of experienced people.
Whether you need expert feedback on something you’ve already written an initial draft or a fully written tribute, our goal is the same: to help you honour someone’s life with words that feel truly personal and meaningful.
📜 Our Full Writing Process
For fully written tributes and elegy poems, we follow a detailed, collaborative process:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Client review (You) — You review the draft and share your thoughts, highlighting anything you’d like adjusted.
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.
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 multi‑step approach ensures every tribute is authentic, meaningful, and truly worthy of the person you want to honour.

💬 Our Tribute Review Service
For clients who’ve already written something, our Tribute Review service provides constructive feedback instead of drafting.
Our review process:
You submit your tribute and context.
We review it in detail, offering structured feedback on tone, flow, and clarity, with suggestions for improvement.
You use our guidance to refine your tribute while keeping your voice and intentions intact.
How Technology Supports Our Processes
We use a range of secure, modern writing tools (some with AI features) to support our work — much like a skilled assistant — helping us organise ideas, explore phrasing, and speed up drafting. But every tribute is always shaped, refined, and completed by real people, with strong privacy protections in place.
