A daughter told us:
“My father called everyone Beloved.”

Beloved James — Better Land
Written from a real customer's story.
What a memorial song can hold
Grief makes words hard to find. A memorial song gathers the small, true things, like the name they called everyone, the mug that's still by the coffee pot or the hymn they hummed while cooking, and keeps them in one place the family can return to.
Some families play it at the funeral or celebration of life. Others keep it for birthdays and the anniversary of the loss, or share it quietly with the people who knew them best. There's no right way to use it, and no rush to decide.
Tributes for every kind of loss
Families also ask us to remember the animals who were part of the family.
Good Boy
Biscuit sat on her feet every morning for 14 years. Not beside her. On her feet. The morning after he was gone the day felt like it had not started.

In their families’ words
My father called everyone Beloved. His Bible was open on the table the morning he was found — he was already in prayer. I told Storied Song I didn't know I was listening to him all those years until it was too late. They put it in the song. "Didn't know I was listening, Daddy." I have played it at every family gathering since.

Beloved James — Better Land
I told them about my dad — that her mug is still beside the coffee pot. That he danced with her in the kitchen when he thought nobody was watching. That I saw it and never told him and have been carrying it for years. When I heard the song I had to sit down. It was all there. Exactly as I'd carried it.

Memories that help us write
Share as much or as little as feels right. A few true details are enough.
- How they greeted people. And what they called you.
- Their hands. What they made, fixed, cooked, grew or held.
- Their words. A saying, a hymn, a song they hummed, a joke they always told.
- Where you picture them. A porch, a kitchen, a garden, a church pew.
- What you would say. Something you wish you had told them, or want them to know.
- Who it is for. The whole family, a service, or just you. Tell us anything to keep private or leave out.
