48-Hour Delivery · Including Weekends

Urgent Funeral Song —
Delivered Before the Service

"When the funeral is in days, not weeks. An original personalised song, written from your memories, delivered within 48 hours."

If you are reading this, the funeral is soon. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe in two days. Maybe at the end of this week. You want a song that captures who they really were — and you don't have time to commission one in the usual way.

We can help. This page exists for one reason: because grief doesn't plan ahead, and most personalised song services need 1-3 weeks. They cannot help you. We can.

Original memorial song delivered within 48 hours.

Including weekends and bank holidays. Written from your memories, ready to play at the service.

How fast delivery actually works

When you place a rush order, you skip the standard queue. The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes — it's the same questionnaire as standard orders, no shortcuts on the questions that matter. Once you submit, the song is in production within hours, not days.

The first draft is typically ready within 24 hours. We review it, refine it, and deliver to your inbox within 48 hours of your order — including weekends, including bank holidays. There is no exception, no fine print. If we cannot meet the deadline we refund you completely, no questions.

What you receive in 48 hours

  • A fully original song — written specifically about the person you've lost, drawing on the memories and details you share. Not a template. Not a remix. Not adapted from another song.
  • Studio-quality audio file — ready to play at the service through any venue audio system, including Obitus and Wesley Media platforms used by UK crematoria.
  • Lyrics as a formatted PDF — printable for the service, for the order of service booklet, or to keep.
  • One free revision included — if anything in the lyrics or tone needs adjusting, we revise within 24 hours of your feedback.
  • Full refund guarantee — if the song still isn't right after revision, you pay nothing.

What you need to provide

The questionnaire asks for:

  • Their name, and what you called them
  • What they were like as a person — their personality, the way they moved through the world
  • Some memories you shared together — even one or two specific moments is enough
  • What they meant to you, and what you'd want others to remember about them
  • The musical style and tone that feels right — gentle, joyful, traditional, modern

There are no wrong answers. Write whatever comes — bullet points, fragments, a single paragraph. The rawer your answers, the more real the song often becomes. We have written deeply moving songs from a single half-page of memories.

Why we can deliver when others cannot

Most personalised funeral song services rely entirely on a human composer writing, recording, and producing each song from scratch. That process inherently takes 1-3 weeks. It is beautiful work, and there is a place for it — but not when the funeral is on Friday.

Our process is different. A real person on our team reads every answer you give and shapes your memories into lyrics that capture who this person was. The musical production draws on the best AI music composition tools — overseen and refined by a human at every step — which means we can produce studio-quality results in hours rather than weeks. The creative direction is human. The speed is what technology adds.

The result is something neither a pure-human service nor a pure-AI tool could give you alone: an original, deeply personal song, delivered before the service.

If the funeral is in less than 48 hours

Get in touch directly before ordering. Email hello@funeralsongs.co or call +44 20 4513 2219 and tell us when the service is. In some cases we can prioritise delivery further. We have completed orders in under 18 hours when families needed it.

We cannot promise miracles, but we will tell you honestly whether we can meet your deadline before you commit. There is no charge for asking.

What it costs

Rush delivery is £149. That includes the song, the lyrics PDF, one free revision, and the full refund guarantee. If you also want our premium keepsake artwork — a beautifully designed PDF of the lyrics, print-ready — that bundle is £179. Both are charged in GBP and processed securely through Stripe.

Standard delivery (5 days) is £89 and works well for families who have a little more time. If your service is more than a week away, the standard option is often the right choice.

What families have said

"We ordered on the Wednesday for a Friday service. The song arrived Thursday afternoon. I cannot describe how relieved I was to have something that captured him properly to play at the crem. Worth every penny."

— Mark D., for his father · November 2025

"I'd been looking for something we could play and everything felt generic. Found this on the Sunday night, ordered the rush, had the song Tuesday lunchtime. The service was Thursday. It was the most meaningful moment of the day."

— Claire H., for her mother · October 2025

Common questions about fast delivery

What if I can't fill in all the questions?

You don't need to. The questionnaire is designed to be flexible — you can skip questions, write briefly, or write at length. The more you share the more the song reflects them, but a half-completed questionnaire still produces a meaningful song. The team will work with whatever you give us.

What if it arrives late?

If we miss the 48-hour delivery promise, you receive a full refund. That has never happened, but the guarantee is real.

Can I still ask for changes after rush delivery?

Yes. The free revision applies to rush orders the same as standard. If something in the lyrics or musical tone isn't right, reply to the delivery email and we revise within 24 hours of your feedback.

What if the funeral is on a Sunday or bank holiday?

We work weekends and bank holidays for rush orders. The 48-hour clock includes them. If your service is on a Sunday morning, we can still deliver in time.

Can I pay extra to make it even faster?

Not currently. The 48-hour delivery is our fastest standard option. If you need it sooner, contact us before ordering and we'll tell you honestly whether we can meet your specific deadline. We don't accept rush orders we can't deliver.

Is this an AI-generated song?

The creative process is human-led. A real person reads your answers, shapes the lyrics, and chooses the musical direction. The production uses modern AI music composition tools (overseen and refined by a human) which is what enables the speed. The result is original — it could only ever have been written about this specific person, from these specific memories. For a full explanation of our process, see How Your Memorial Song Is Created.

What audio file format will I receive?

MP3 by default — the format every funeral venue audio system supports. If you need WAV or another format for a specific setup, let us know and we'll send that too.

Will the song be private to me?

Yes. Every song is yours completely. We never reuse, recycle, or share the music or lyrics. The memories you share with us are held in complete confidence and used only to create your song.

When you're ready to begin.

The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes. Your song arrives within 48 hours — including weekends and bank holidays.
