AI-Assisted Obituary Writing

Let BestFarewell's AI help you craft a meaningful obituary from the details you provide.

Sage, BestFarewell’s AI assistant, can help you write an obituary when the words feel hard to find. You provide the details; Sage helps shape them into a clear, respectful tribute.

How It Works

Start the AI-assisted flow from the obituary editor. Sage will ask you for information such as:

  • Full name and dates
  • Family members and relationships
  • Life highlights (education, career, community)
  • Personality traits and interests

Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. The AI uses what you provide.

What the AI Needs From You

The more specific you are, the more personal the result. Dates and names are essential. Details like “loved gardening” or “always made people laugh” help the AI write something that feels true to the person. You can skip questions you don’t know the answer to.

Reviewing and Editing

Sage generates a draft for you to review. Read it carefully. Edit any wording, add or remove details, and adjust the tone. The AI is a starting point—you decide what stays and what changes.

Regenerating With Different Tones

If the first draft doesn’t feel right, try again. You can ask for a more formal tone, a lighter touch, or a focus on a particular part of their life. Sage respects the story you’ve shared while offering polished language options.

Your Story, Your Control

The AI never writes without your input. It uses only what you provide and never invents facts. You always have final say over what gets published.
