"She was born on March 4th. She is survived by her husband and two children. She will be greatly missed."

That's what most obituaries sound like. A list of dates, a roster of relatives, and a sentence that could describe anyone.

But your person wasn't anyone. They had a laugh that filled a room. A recipe nobody could replicate. A way of making strangers feel like old friends. Their story deserves better than a template.

Three steps to an obituary that honors who they really were

01

Answer the Questions

18 thoughtful questions designed to surface what made this person unforgettable. Not just facts — feelings, stories, the things you never want to forget. Takes about 15 minutes.

02

We Write It

The obituary sounded like him

The questions made me remember things I hadn't thought about in years. The obituary we got back actually made people laugh at the service — which is exactly what he would've wanted.

Margaret T. Written for her father

I was terrified of writing it myself. I thought it would take days. This guided me through it in under an hour, and the result was more beautiful than anything I could have written alone.

David R. Written for his wife

When the funeral director read it, she said it was the most personal obituary she'd seen in 20 years. That meant everything to our family.

Sandra & Jim K. Written for their mother

A tribute you can hold in your hands

Some things need to exist in the physical world. An obituary that captures someone's entire spirit deserves more than a browser tab. EverWord delivers a printed keepsake that honors the gravity of what it represents.

Immediate Digital Delivery

Digital obituary emailed the moment your payment completes. Ready for the funeral home, newspaper, or memorial within minutes.

Physical Keepsake

Archival-quality printed obituary, designed and bound as a lasting memento the family can hold onto for generations.

Write Your Own

Tell your story while you can. It's not morbid — it's the most generous thing you'll ever write for the people you leave behind.

Memorial Page

A dedicated memorial page to share with family and friends, with a unique URL that lives on as a digital tribute.

Everything you need to know

About 15 minutes. Our guided questionnaire walks you through 18 thoughtful questions — not dates and data, but real stories and memories. Most families finish in a single sitting, and your progress is saved automatically if you need a break.
$149, one time. That includes the complete written obituary, immediate digital delivery via email, a physical keepsake print, and a dedicated memorial page with a shareable URL. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, no upsells.
Yes. You can regenerate the obituary as many times as you need until it feels right. Each version is crafted from your answers, so you can also go back and update your responses to refine the result. We want you to be completely satisfied.
It's an archival-quality printed version of the obituary, designed and bound as a lasting physical memento. Something the family can hold, display, or tuck into a memory box. It's included in the $149 price — not an add-on.
No. You don't need to be a writer. Our guided questionnaire asks the right questions — you just share your memories and stories in your own words. EverWord handles the writing, structure, and tone. Your job is simply to remember.
Yes. Your answers and the generated obituary are private by default. Nothing is published or shared unless you choose to share it. The memorial page is only accessible via a unique URL that you control — it's not indexed by search engines.
Yes. You can share your session link with other family members so they can add their own memories and answers. Sometimes a sibling remembers a story you forgot, or a grandchild has a detail that brings everything together. The more voices, the richer the tribute.
Most funeral home obituaries use fill-in-the-blank templates: born here, survived by these people, service at this time. EverWord uses guided storytelling to surface what made this person unforgettable — their humor, their quirks, the way they made people feel. The result reads like it was written by someone who loved them, not someone filling out a form.
The digital obituary is delivered to your email within minutes of completing the questionnaire and payment. It's ready to share with the funeral home, newspaper, or memorial service immediately. The physical keepsake is printed and mailed separately.
Absolutely. The obituary is yours to use however you need — funeral home submissions, newspaper announcements, memorial service programs, online tributes, or social media posts. There are no usage restrictions. It's your loved one's story, and it belongs to you.

Guides to Help You Find the Right Words

The last thing written about a life
should be the best thing

EverWord exists because 3 million obituaries are written every year in America, and almost none of them sound like the person they describe. We're changing that, one story at a time.
