PSR Writing · Philadelphia

The best obituaries are written by the people who lived them.

The Living Legacy is your story, told in your voice, crafted with you while you are here to tell it, and held in care until your family needs it.

Why write it now

Most obituaries are written in seventy-two hours, by people in grief, guessing at dates and reaching for words. Yours does not have to be. Tell it once, tell it right, and let it wait with us.

The service

One offering, done completely.

$300 The Living Legacy

We sit with you. We ask the questions no one thinks to ask until it is too late: the names, the stories, the lines you want read aloud. Then we write, you review, and the finished piece is held safely until the day your family calls.

Every Living Legacy is hand-crafted by our founder. No templates, no fill-in-the-blanks.
