Memorial songs

A memorial song to honor the life of someone you love

When someone is gone, the stories are what we hold onto. A photograph shows how they looked; a song can carry how they loved, what they survived and the laughter they left behind.

DJ Kountry began writing to leave a musical record of his own family's stories for the generations after him. He brings that same care to memorial and tribute songs — written gently, from the memories you choose to share, so your family has something to return to.

Memories you might share

  • Their name, the role they played in your family, and where they called home.
  • A saying, a laugh or a habit everyone remembers.
  • A story that captures who they really were.
  • What they taught you, or what you carry forward from them.
  • Anything you wish you'd had the chance to tell them.

Take your time. Most order-form answers are saved on your device so you can come back, but the optional "Your Side of the Story" answers are not. Share only what feels right, and tell us whether the song should feel peaceful, hopeful or celebratory.

Ways the song can be used

  • Played at a funeral, celebration of life or graveside gathering.
  • Shared at an anniversary of their passing or a family reunion.
  • Played alongside a slideshow of photos.
  • Kept for children and grandchildren who will want to know them.

How it works

  1. Choose a package, then answer the guided questions about the person and your memories.
  2. DJ Kountry writes original lyrics and music in the genre and mood you pick.
  3. You listen to a first draft and request the revisions included with your package.
  4. Your finished song arrives as a file you can play and share however you like.
