Quick Answer

What is the difference between RememberMe and Songfinch?

RememberMe makes songs only for people who have passed. Five questions ask about them by name, and a person on our team checks every line against your answers before you hear the song. Songfinch is a marketplace of artists who write custom songs for many occasions, from $179, and you review the artist’s lyric draft yourself. RememberMe starts at $29.

This guide follows a memorial song through each service, from the first question about the person you lost to the day the song is played for family. It covers how each one learns who they were, who checks the song before it reaches you, how the song sounds, how it can be used at the service and after, how long it takes, and what happens if something needs to change.

Everything we say about Songfinch comes from its own public pages, checked on November 11, 2026. Each page is linked where we use it and listed in the sources at the end. What we say about RememberMe comes from our terms and our order records.

Part One

Built for Remembering

How each one learns about the person you lost.

A song service for many occasions

Songfinch is a marketplace of independent musicians who write custom songs for many occasions, and memorials are one of them. Its memorial songs page says, “Honor a life and a memory with a custom memorial song written to celebrate someone you’ve lost,” and counts over 1,400 memorial songs created. Its homepage counts more than 400,000 songs in all.

A memorial order goes through the same steps as any other order. Songfinch’s Behind the Music article lays them out. First you find an artist: you answer a few multiple-choice questions so Songfinch can suggest artists who match, or you browse the roster and listen to samples. Then you “spend 10–20 minutes in our Song Builder detailing the mood, genre, and memories you want in your song.” Then you choose a delivery date, record a voice message if you’d like, and check out.

The pages we reviewed describe one Song Builder for every occasion. We found no questions written for someone who has died. The artist you chose writes the song from what you wrote, so how much of their life comes through depends on what you were able to put into your story, and on how the artist reads it.

Five questions, all about them

RememberMe makes songs only for people and pets who have died, so every question is written for that. Each one uses their name, and each one asks for something different:

  • What made them special? Who they were: how they treated people, what they were known for, what everyone said about them.
  • What moments with them do you still hold onto? The scenes: the places you went together, the things you always did, the days you come back to.
  • What do you miss most about them? The things only family knows: their laugh, their voice, their hands, the way they said your name.
  • What would you want them to know? The words you want to say to them, in your own way.
  • What did they leave behind? What carries on: the values they taught, the family they built, the people who still live the way they showed them.

You answer in your own words, as much or as little as you like. Most people finish in about 10 minutes. The lyrics are written from those answers, with their name in the song along with the moments and the words you gave us.

In the song for Bill, “Straighten Your Collar,” the first verse begins with how he said goodbye in the morning:

From the first verse

You’d always leave the collar of your work shirt standing up Just so I could fix it when we shared our morning hug A six-foot-five gentle giant, waiting by the door I never felt as safe as when my hand was wrapped in yours

“Straighten Your Collar,” Country, Celebration of Life

His wife told us he left his collar up because he knew she would straighten it as they hugged goodbye, and that she misses how safe she felt when he held her hand. Both are in the first four lines. In “Tenfold,” the song for Paul, the bridge is built on one line his wife gave us: “Don’t ‘should’ on yourself.” You can hear both songs in Part Four.

“My answers to the questions about my precious son were turned into lyrics about my Anthony. I cried as I listened to the song because it described beautifully the uniqueness of my child.”

From a review of “Kisses to Your Nose Tip,” the song for Anthony

Who the songs are for

We delivered 11,907 memorial songs between January 1 and November 11, 2026. Forty-three of every hundred were for a husband. The next most common were for a son, a mother, a daughter, a wife, a father, a brother and a sister, and more than 200 were for a pet. Every one of them started with the same five questions, asked about one person by name.

Key Takeaway

Songfinch asks for your story in a Song Builder used for every occasion, and an artist writes from it. RememberMe asks five questions about the person you lost, by name, and writes the song from your answers.

Part Two

A Person Listens Before You Do

What happens before the song reaches you.

A memorial song has to be right about small things. Their name has to be spelled the way the family spells it. If the family called her Nana, the song should call her Nana. A grandson can’t become a nephew.

What our team checks

Before any RememberMe song is delivered, a person on our team listens to the whole song with your answers open beside the lyrics, and checks it line by line:

  • Their name. Spelled the way you spelled it, and clear when it is sung.
  • What you called them. Mom, Papa, Nana or a nickname: the song uses the words you used.
  • Who everyone is. Husbands, daughters, grandsons and friends are who you said they were.
  • Your details. The places, moments and words you shared are in the song, and nothing in it contradicts what you told us.
  • The song itself. The whole song is heard, start to finish: the vocal, the words, the music.

If something is wrong, we fix it or make the song again before it is sent. If you ask for a revision, the new version is checked the same way before it goes out.

Why it matters who is listening

Our team has spent 22 years in digital music production, and that experience is what we listen with. A word that lands on the wrong beat, a name that’s hard to make out when it’s sung, a line that rushes past the part that matters most: a trained ear hears those on the first listen. So would the family, at the service.

“This song is so good with the information I provided. It was all there.”

From a review of “Waiting At The Finish Line,” the song for John

How it works on Songfinch

On Songfinch, the person who checks the words is you. The artist writes a lyric draft and posts it on your song page, where you follow the order from the artist accepting it to the lyrics, the recording and delivery. Songfinch’s support center says, “If you don’t leave feedback within 24 hours, your artist will go ahead and record your song based on their draft and your original request.” After delivery, you can still request up to 5 lines of edits for free.

An artist can also step away from an order. Songfinch’s support articles on choosing an artist and on what happens if an artist can’t start a song say an artist may drop an order when “Their capacity filled up” or “They didn’t connect with the material in your submission.” Songfinch then waits for you: “We won’t select an artist for you without your confirmation, and we will pause your order until we hear from you.”

Some subjects are off limits. Songfinch’s guidelines for artists list “Self-harm and suicide” among “off-limits topics,” and say orders that conflict with them “will be returned to the customer for further information, clarification, or a refund and cancellation.” Artists also “default to not using any curse words.” The guidelines don’t say how this applies to a tribute for someone who died by suicide.

If there is something about how they died, or about their life, that you aren’t sure how to put into a form, you can write to us at support@rememberme.fm before you order.

Create Their Song

How RememberMe songs are made

Human reviewed. Personal. Respectful.

Our team has spent 22 years in digital music production. We use the best tools available in a modern studio, including AI, the way producers have always used the newest instruments. What no tool can do is decide whether a song is right for the person it is about. A person on our team does that, for every song.

  1. You tell us about them. Guided questions ask what made them special, the moments you still hold onto, what you miss most, what you would want them to know, and what they left behind. You also choose the tone, the genre and a female or male voice, and you can add a photo.
  2. We write and produce the song. Lyrics are written from your answers, with their name and your details in them, then produced as a finished song with custom album art made from your photo.
  3. A person reviews it before you hear it. Someone on our team listens to the whole song and reads the lyrics line by line against what you told us: the name, the relationships, the details. If anything is wrong, we fix it or make it again before it is sent.
  4. You receive it, and it is yours. You get the MP3, a streaming link and a memorial song page with the lyrics. One revision round is free within 14 days, every revised song is reviewed again before it goes out, and if you are not satisfied you can ask for a full refund within 30 days.

The Sound of Their Song

How it should feel, the music they loved, the voice and the length.

The words carry who they were. The music carries how it should feel to hear them. At RememberMe you make a few choices, and none of them needs any musical knowledge.

How it should feel

You choose one of four tones. These are the descriptions families see when they choose:

ToneWhat it is for
Celebration of LifeUplifting and joyful, honoring the beautiful life they lived
Peaceful RemembranceGentle and comforting, a tender tribute to their memory
Healing & ComfortSoothing and hopeful, helping process grief with grace
Honoring Their LegacyPowerful and reverent, celebrating what they left behind

The music they loved

Then you choose the music: Country, Pop, Acoustic, R&B/Soul, Worship, Gospel, Contemporary Christian or Traditional Hymn. Choose the music that sounds like them: what they loved to listen to, or the music of the church they belonged to. Songs we have made include “Boombox in the Silverado,” “Front Porch Playlists” and “Saturday Night Bluegrass.”

From the 11,907 RememberMe songs delivered between January 1 and November 11, 2026.

The voice, faith and their photo

You choose a female voice, a male voice or no preference, and whether faith belongs in the song. If it does, the song can speak of heaven, of God’s care, or of seeing them again. You can also add a photo of them, and it becomes the song’s album art.

“It gave me a way to show others how I still feel about Cory. It also shows my faith in God and I know that Cory is ‘Healed in a different way.’”

From a review of “Healed In A Different Way,” the song for Cory

How long the song is

A RememberMe song has two verses and a chorus, about two and a half minutes. Adding a third verse (a bridge and another chorus) for $24.99 makes it about four and a half minutes, so there is more room for what you want to say.

Songfinch’s support center says its songs are “typically… 2:30-3:30 minutes in length, which includes 2 verses and a repeated chorus.” Its Extra Verse starts at $59.99 and “adds an additional 6-10 lines… up to 4 new details,” and “All extra verse purchases are final.”

On Songfinch, the sound comes with the artist

On Songfinch you don’t choose a tone or a genre for the song itself. You choose an artist, and the song takes that artist’s voice and style. Its guide to choosing an artist says, “Each artist’s profile shows their price, style, and sample work.” The memorial page lists the artists it recommends for memorial songs, priced from $199 to $269 among those shown.

Once the song is recorded, its sound is mostly set. Songfinch’s Song Revisions page lists changes it does not offer, including “changes, removals, or additions of instrumentation” and “melodies, words, notes, or runs to be performed differently.”

At the Service, and After

Playing their song for family, on the day and on the days that follow.

At the funeral or celebration of life

A memorial song can be played as people arrive, with a photo slideshow, or at the close of the service while everyone is still together. A few practical things help on the day:

  • Ask the funeral home or venue how they play music, and send them the MP3 a day or two ahead.
  • Keep a copy on your phone as well.
  • If you’d like the words in the printed program, the lyrics are on the song’s memorial page, ready to copy.

With a photo slideshow

The length of the song decides how many photos fit. At four to five seconds a photo, a two-verse RememberMe song of about two and a half minutes holds about 30 to 37 photos. With a third verse, about four and a half minutes, it holds about 54 to 67.

Songfinch sells a Personalized Music Video for $19.99, a photo slideshow synced to the song. You upload and arrange the photos yourself.

Sharing it with family

A RememberMe song arrives as an MP3, a streaming link and a memorial song page with the lyrics, with album art made from your photo. The link and the page can be sent to anyone, so family who couldn’t be at the service can hear it the same day.

A Songfinch song lives on a private song page where guests can add “photos, voice notes, and comments.” Songfinch says “You’ll have access to your song forever!” and that “your song is private unless you choose the streaming add-on to publish it on Spotify.” To download it, the song must be published first, and Songfinch’s download guide warns, “Mobile downloads will not save directly to your music library. For seamless access, use a computer.”

On Spotify and Apple Music

A RememberMe song can be published to Spotify and Apple Music for $79.99, so anyone can find it by name. Streaming services can take up to 21 business days to show a new song.

Songfinch’s Spotify Streaming add-on costs $49.99, and “This includes Spotify only.” Its usage and ownership article says that on Spotify, “the songwriting credits show a name other than yours or your artist’s. This is not an error.”

Whose song it is

When you pay for a RememberMe song, full rights to it transfer to you, including commercial use. You can play it at the funeral, put it under a tribute video, post it online and share it with anyone. There is nothing extra to buy.

Songfinch’s Terms of Use give the buyer “the limited license to use the Master solely for personal use,” with “no right to copy, sell, lease, publicly perform, license or otherwise grant rights in and to the Master.” Its usage and ownership article says “the artist who created your song retains ownership of the audio recording itself.” It allows personal, non-commercial videos and slideshows, and does not allow uploading the song “to streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube for public broadcasting.” None of the pages we reviewed say how this applies to a funeral or memorial service.

Songfinch sells two upgrades. The Small Business Song Rights Upgrade, from $70, is a usage license, and “The artist will retain 100% ownership.” The Full Rights Buyout costs $1,299.99 and transfers ownership from the artist, though Songfinch notes there may be times “an artist is not interested in selling the rights,” in which case Songfinch offers a full refund.

On the days after

The song is still theirs after the service. It can be played on their birthday, on the anniversary, at the holidays, and for grandchildren who want to know who they were.

“This is absolutely wonderful and something I can share with my kids and grandkids who all adored her.”

When the Service Is Soon

How long each takes, and what can change the date.

Most families receive their RememberMe song in about three to four days, and our terms promise delivery within 7 days. If the service is sooner, faster delivery is available at checkout from $49, or next day for $99. Faster songs are reviewed by a person on our team the same as every other song.

Songfinch’s standard delivery is 7 days. Its How It Works page says songs “can be delivered in as little as 24 hours by select artists.” Faster dates cost more, and its rush delivery article lists the prices:

Songfinch delivery timeExtra cost
6 days$25
5 days$50
4 days$75
3 days$100
2 days$150
Next day$200

The same article says, “Once orders are confirmed, we cannot add a rush.” A few other things can move a Songfinch date:

  • The lyric draft step happens inside the delivery window, and the artist records after you respond or after 24 hours.
  • Its delivery article says songs arrive “by 8p CST on the delivery date you selected,” and that if “your artist needs more time or more information is required… we’ll reach out to you directly.”
  • If your artist becomes unavailable, the order pauses until you choose a new one.
  • Its revision policy says, “If edits or revisions are requested post song delivery, additional time will be needed.”

Whichever you choose, count back from the day of the service and leave time for a change, so a revision can be made and checked before the song is played.

If It Needs to Change

Revisions and refunds on each.

At RememberMe

Every RememberMe song includes one free revision round within 14 days of delivery. It can cover the lyrics, the tempo and the arrangement. The revised song is checked by a person on our team before it is sent, the same as the first one. If you are not satisfied, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of delivery.

At Songfinch

Songfinch’s revision policy says, “Once your song is delivered, you have 72 hours to request free revisions.” Before you submit a request, “you’ll be asked to name a price for your artist’s time,” and you can choose $0. “If you take no action within 72 hours, your song finalizes automatically and the free revision window closes.” After that, “Revisions at this stage aren’t guaranteed,” and after 14 days they are “handled case by case,” because “artists archive project files over time.”

Its Song Revisions page says changes such as “a different tempo,” “a different perspective than first-person” and “a new song created by a different Songfinch artist” come with extra charges. It lists changes that aren’t offered, including instrumentation, melody and “Fully adding or removing additional lines in the middle of verses.” The page ends, “All sales are final.”

On refunds, Songfinch’s Terms of Use say, “For Original Custom Song orders, cancellations and refunds are strictly prohibited once the order is accepted by the requested Songfinch artist.” Its refunds article says, “Once your artist has accepted your order, refunds and cancellations are not possible.” If your artist becomes unavailable, Songfinch will “either pair you with another artist or issue a full refund or account credit,” and add-ons “are non-refundable once they’ve been fulfilled or shipped.”

Key Takeaway

A RememberMe song has one free revision within 14 days, checked again before it is sent, and a full refund within 30 days if it still isn’t right. Songfinch gives 72 hours for free revision requests, and no refunds once the artist accepts the order.

Is Songfinch a good choice for a funeral song?

Songfinch can write a song for a funeral, but it was built for every kind of occasion. The pages we reviewed describe one Song Builder for all of them, with no questions written for someone who has died. Its songs are priced by each artist from $179, standard delivery is 7 days, and its standard license is for personal use only, with no right to "publicly perform" the song. RememberMe was built only for memorial songs: the questions are about the person you lost, a person on our team checks every song before you hear it, and the song is yours to play at the service, from $29.

Can I play a Songfinch song at a funeral?

Songfinch's Terms of Use give the buyer "the limited license to use the Master solely for personal use" and say the buyer has "no right to copy, sell, lease, publicly perform" the song. The pages we reviewed do not address funerals or memorial services. Its support center says the artist keeps ownership of the recording. A full rights buyout costs $1,299.99, and an artist can decline to sell. A RememberMe song comes with full rights, including playing it at a service, at no extra cost.

Can I play a RememberMe song at a funeral or celebration of life?

Yes. When you pay for a RememberMe song, full rights to the song transfer to you, including commercial use. You can play it at a funeral, a celebration of life or a graveside service, put it under a tribute video, share it with family, and post it online. There is nothing extra to buy.

Who checks a RememberMe song before I hear it?

A person on our team, every time. They listen to the whole song with your answers open beside the lyrics, and check their name, what you called them, who everyone is to each other, and the details you shared. If anything is wrong, we fix it or make the song again before it is sent. Revised songs are checked the same way before they go out.

Does Songfinch use AI?

Songfinch says no for the songs themselves. Its "Is this AI?" article says "Every Songfinch song is written, sung, and produced entirely by real human artists" with "No AI lyrics or synthetic vocals." The same article says Songfinch uses AI "to improve various processes on the administrative end for efficiency."

Does RememberMe use AI?

Yes, as part of production. Our team has 22 years of digital music production experience, and we use the best tools available in a modern studio, including AI, to write lyrics from your answers and produce the song. What no tool decides is whether the song is right. A person on our team listens to every song and checks the lyrics line by line against what you told us before it is delivered.

How much does each cost?

A RememberMe song starts at $29 for two verses and a chorus, about two and a half minutes. A third verse adds $24.99, and faster delivery starts at $49, or $99 for next day. Songfinch songs are priced by each artist, starting at $179, with most artists we saw between $199 and $309 and a few near $1,000.

If you are not satisfied, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of delivery. Songfinch gives 72 hours after delivery for free revision requests, some changes cost extra or aren't offered, and its terms say refunds are not possible once the artist accepts the order.

Can I hear the song before I pay?

Neither service plays your finished song before you pay. On Songfinch you can listen to an artist's sample songs before choosing them, and you see a lyric draft before it is recorded, but there are no refunds once the artist accepts the order. With RememberMe the song is written after you order, a person on our team checks it before you hear it, and if it isn't right you have a free revision and a full refund within 30 days.

Can the song use their nickname, or what we called them?

Yes. Tell us in your answers what the family called them, whether that is Mom, Papa, Nana or a nickname only you used, and the song will use it. Checking that is part of our review. In "Straighten Your Collar," one of the songs on this page, the chorus calls Bill "the best husband, the best Papa," in his wife's words.

Can I put the song on Spotify or Apple Music?

A RememberMe song can be published to Spotify and Apple Music for $79.99. Streaming services can take up to 21 business days to show a new song. Songfinch's streaming add-on costs $49.99 and "includes Spotify only," and its support center says the songwriting credits will show "a name other than yours or your artist's." Without that add-on, Songfinch's license does not allow uploading the song to streaming platforms or YouTube.

What do I receive from each?

A RememberMe song comes as an MP3, a streaming link, and a memorial song page with the lyrics, with album art made from the photo you share. Songfinch songs live on a private song page where guests can add photos, voice notes and comments, and you can download the audio once the song is published.

Instant Song is a separate Songfinch product for $29.99. Its product page says you "Answer some simple multiple-choice questions… Browse and select the name of the recipient… Preview personalized songs that fit your story." Nothing on that page says the song is written from your story, and Songfinch's terms say "Instant Song orders are non-refundable and cannot be canceled under any circumstances."

Will Songfinch write a song for someone we lost to suicide?

Songfinch's guidelines list "Self-harm and suicide" among off-limits topics, and say orders that conflict with them "will be returned to the customer for further information, clarification, or a refund and cancellation." The guidelines do not say how this applies to a tribute. If you would like to ask how we would approach a song for your person, write to us at support@rememberme.fm before you order.
