What’s working now, with innovations you can use today

Every funeral professional has been there — sitting across from a family as they work through grief, tension, or even estrangement, all while trying to write something as personal and permanent as an obituary. The pressure to get every detail “just right” falls on the family — and just as often, on you. Sometimes, obituaries are pulled together quickly. Other times, families stall out, unsure what to say or how to begin. That’s when the phone calls start — or they head straight to Google, hoping to find the right words. Tribute Obituary Writer makes a difficult process worlds easier. This simple tool, built right into your website, helps families write a meaningful obituary in just seconds — whether they’re at home or sitting with you in the arrangement room. What It Does Tribute Obituary Writer walks families through a few thoughtful prompts — details like when and where someone was born, what mattered to them, and how they’ll be remembered. Then, with a single click, the AI transforms those answers into a fully written obituary. Families can instantly preview versions in different tones: warm and heartfelt, formal and traditional, or celebratory. With each option, the writing shifts to match the style that best reflects their loved one’s personality. How It Works Tribute Obituary Writer is powered by the same AI technology used in tools like ChatGPT, built on what’s called a large language model. It doesn’t use templates or prewritten scripts. Instead, it’s been trained on billions of words and examples of real human writing. That training allows it to create original text that’s not just grammatically correct — it sounds natural, compassionate, and human. As for the different tone options? That’s thanks to prompt engineering, subtle behind-the-scenes cues that guide the AI to write in distinct voices, all tailored to help families feel seen and understood. Why It Matters For your team: Less time on drafts, edits, and phone calls. For your families: A stressful task becomes simple — and even healing. For your business: A modern, meaningful service available 24/7, right on your website.  Tribute Obituary Writer helps you offer the right words — right when they’re needed.
