For funeral homes & families
Honoring lives through stories
We partner with funeral homes to give every family a lasting way to share a loved one's story — a personalized AI voice and likeness that reads their obituary the way it deserves to be told.
Every photograph holds a story worth telling again.
Talking Ancestors partners with funeral homes to add a lasting, personal way for families to honor the people they've lost — offered as part of the care you already provide.
Your families work directly with you, the way they always have. Behind the scenes, we handle the technology: turning a photo and a voice recording into a personalized Talking Obituary, ready to share within the service you already offer.
No separate app for families to figure out, no disruption to your process — just one more way to help them hold onto what matters.
What partnering includes
Built around your workflow
A private portal for your staff to open a case for each family, invite the people contributing photos and stories, and review the finished Talking Obituary before it's shared — all under your funeral home's name.
At Talking Ancestors, we understand the profound weight of loss. Our platform helps individuals reconnect with loved ones who have passed, through a personalized AI avatar that reads their obituary in a voice built to honor who they were.
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and neither does memory. Families who've used Talking Ancestors tell us it gives them somewhere to return — a way to hear a story again, and again, exactly as it was meant to be told.
We invite you to explore how a Talking Obituary can help you hold onto what matters most.
What stays with us
A voice, kept close
Every Talking Obituary is built around the details that made a life distinct — not a template, not a script. Families choose the words; we help them find a lasting way to share them.
Ways to keep a story alive
Three ways families use Talking Ancestors to hold onto memory, from a single life story to a family's full history.
Talking Obituary
Create a personalized avatar that reads a loved one's obituary aloud, so the story can be heard — not just read — by everyone who wants to remember them.
Create a Talking ObituaryTalking Ancestor Library
Preserve a family historian's stories, photos, and voice — with or without a Talking Obituary case — then talk with them directly, grounded in exactly what your family has shared.
Open the Talking Ancestor Library
Theresa Wollschlaeger & Wilhelm August Kluck — married April 9, 1903, Lyons, Illinois. The family's first Talking Ancestor.
A family's own historian, kept close
My family's historians have all passed away. We added Talking Ancestor to re-create the family historian, so our children and grandchildren can still learn their family's legacy.
August Kluck was our great-grandfather and family historian — a Midwestern farmer in the late 1800s, and the sample Talking Ancestor we built to keep his story close. We hope you'll join us in keeping family legacies alive for the generations still to come.
