Professionally crafted obituaries, as unique as the lives they honor.
Professionally crafted obituaries, as unique as the lives they honor.
Hello,
If you’ve landed here, I first want to express my sympathy. Nothing can fill the loss you are feeling.
I also want to encourage you to consider commemorating your loved one with your own words. It’s not easy, but it can be deeply consoling.
However, if you are overwhelmed or heartbroken or just hesitant to take this on yourself, I am here to help.
I’m an award-winning biographer who loves to celebrate individual lives. As part of my research, I read numerous obituaries. When loss has touched my life, I’ve discovered immense fulfillment in remembering those by crafting a detailed, loving obituary.
If you commission me to write a bespoke obituary for your loved one, I’ll first ask you to complete a questionnaire about your loved one, and to forward any photos or clippings that you think will tell me about them. I'll also meet with you for a 45-minute call, where we can discuss your memories and how you want your loved one to be remembered. I’ll provide a complete, detailed, and carefully composed piece of commemorative writing that honors your loved one’s life and legacy, one week after our conversation. This personalized obituary will truly reflect their unique story.
For more questions or to get started with your bespoke obituary, please reach out to me at karen@bespokeobit.com.
