We help Portland families write beautiful, personalized obituaries — free, in minutes, with AI that listens before it writes.
The weight of a lifetime—of early mornings at Pine State Coffee, of walks along the Willamette, of every small joke and quiet kindness—suddenly feels impossible to capture in a few hundred words. You stare at a blank screen, the cursor blinking like a metronome, while the stories you want to tell jumble together in a knot of grief and love. In Portland, where community runs deep, we understand that an obituary isn't just a notice—it's a final act of care, and you deserve support in writing it.
The family from Southeast 52nd who had me handle their mother's service last spring—she was a retired librarian who spent her last decade volunteering at Tryon Creek—didn't blink when I suggested we let an AI system help sequence the photo slideshow; what mattered to them was that the images matched the stories her book club members would tell that afternoon. Portland's gray drizzle keeps people inside with their screens half the year, so a memorial that blends a recorded voice with a digital timeline of someone's life feels less like a gimmick and more like a natural extension of how they already communicate. But I've also sat with families who want nothing digital—just a pine box, a hand-dug hole, and the sound of rain on ferns.
Serving families across Forest Park, Powell's City of Books, Willamette River and beyond
Share a few memories, details, or even just a name and a date. Our AI starts by asking gentle questions—like what they loved about Forest Park or their favorite food cart—to gather the essence of who they were.
Within seconds, our AI weaves your notes and memories into a heartfelt, well-structured obituary draft. It captures their voice and the unique spirit of their life in Portland, without sounding robotic or templated.
You're in control. Read the draft, edit any part, add more stories, or adjust the tone. Share it with family for input. When it feels right, you can download it or publish it to a memorial page to share with the community.
