Our Story

Why We Built Obituary Made Easy

When someone you love passes away, you're suddenly expected to find the right words at one of the hardest moments of your life.

One

The Blank Page

You know their life. You know their personality. You remember the stories.

But where do you begin?

We guide you with simple, thoughtful questions so you never have to start with a blank page.

Two

The Deadline

Funeral arrangements can move quickly, leaving families only a short time to prepare an obituary and memorial materials.

Our guided process helps you create something meaningful without making you feel rushed.

Three

The Pressure

You want to get it right.

The names. The dates. The memories. The personality. The things that made them special.

Obituary Made Easy helps organize those pieces into a tribute that sounds personal—because it begins with your memories.

Four Gentle Steps

How It Works

1

Tell Us About Them

We'll ask gentle, easy-to-answer questions about their life, family, personality, accomplishments, favorite memories, traditions, faith, and the little things that made them special.

You don't have to know how to write an obituary. Just tell us about the person you loved.

2

Choose the Right Tone

Every person is different.

Choose a style that feels appropriate for them—warm and heartfelt, traditional and respectful, uplifting and celebratory, faith-centered, or simple and personal.

3

Read It. Change It. Make It Yours.

We'll help turn your answers into a thoughtful first draft. Nothing is final until you're comfortable with it.

Add a memory. Change a sentence. Correct a detail. Include another family member.

You're always in control.

4

Choose a Design and Share

Choose a memorial design that feels right.

When you're finished, download, print, or share it. Online memorials that family and friends can visit are Coming soon

You Don't Have to Remember Everything Alone Coming soon

Invite Family to Help Tell Their Story

A life contains more memories than one person can remember.

Share the tribute with family members so they can:

  • Help check names and dates
  • Contribute memories
  • Suggest changes
  • Make sure important parts of their story aren't forgotten

Together, you can create something that truly feels like them.

Memories shared by family

S
Sarah, daughter
"Mom taught every grandchild to plant tomatoes. Can we include that?"
M
Michael, son
Corrected the year she started teaching — 1964, not 1965.
R
Aunt Ruth, sister
"She sang in the church choir for forty years. She'd want that remembered."
You Don't Need to Be a Writer

From Simple Memories to Meaningful Words

You tell us
"My mom loved her garden. Sunday dinner was always at her house. Everybody was welcome, and somehow she always made room for one more person at the table."
We help you turn those memories into
"Her home was a gathering place for family and friends, especially on Sundays, when there was always another chair waiting at the table. She found joy in her garden, but her greatest joy came from the people she loved and the warmth she created wherever she went."

Your memories remain at the heart of every word.

You bring the memories. We help you find the words.

Memorial Designs

Create Something as Unique as the Person You Remember

Choose a memorial style that reflects their personality, their life, and the way you want them remembered.

You can change your design before completing your memorial.

See What You Can Create

A few simple answers can become a beautiful tribute.

From cherished memories and important milestones to family relationships and personal stories, Obituary Made Easy helps bring the pieces together into a memorial that celebrates a life—not just a list of dates.

Margaret Ellen "Peggy" Hayes
April 15, 1941 — March 2, 2026

Margaret Ellen "Peggy" Hayes, 84, of Mesa, Arizona, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2026, surrounded by the family she spent her life gathering close.

Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Walter and June Pruitt, Peggy grew up the oldest of four and learned early that a kitchen is the heart of a home. She taught second grade for thirty-one years, and more than a few of her former students still remember the sunflowers she grew along the classroom window.

Questions Families Ask

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't know what to write. Can I still use this?

Absolutely. That's exactly why Obituary Made Easy exists.

You won't be handed a blank page. We'll guide you through simple questions about your loved one's life, personality, family, memories, and accomplishments.

You provide the memories. We help organize them into words.

Will it sound like AI?

No two lives are alike, and their obituary shouldn't sound alike either.

The process begins with your memories—their personality, stories, relationships, traditions, accomplishments, faith, humor, and the little details that made them who they were.

We help organize those memories and find the words, but you remain in control of the final tribute.

You bring the memories. We help you find the words.

Can I make changes?

Yes. Review the obituary, edit the wording, add memories, correct details, and make changes before completing your memorial.

It's their story. You should feel comfortable with every word.

Can my family help?

Family sharing is coming soon. You'll be able to share the tribute so family members can review details, suggest changes, and help make sure important memories aren't missed.

For now, you can copy your draft and send it to family for their thoughts before you finish.

Is my information private?

Privacy is an important part of Obituary Made Easy.

Your memorial is private by default and isn't shared publicly unless you choose to share it.

Can I come back later?

Yes. Grief doesn't operate on a schedule, and you shouldn't feel pressured to finish everything at once.

Saving your progress is coming soon. Soon you'll be able to save your work and return when you're ready.

Do I need design or technical experience?

No. The experience is designed for everyday families—not professional writers or designers.

We guide you through each step.

Is there a subscription?

No. Choose the memorial package that works for your family and make a one-time payment. There are no required monthly subscription fees.
