Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
Most people complete the entire process in under 15 minutes. Once you complete our guided questions, your draft is ready almost instantly.
Do I need writing experience?
Not at all. Everlight does the writing for you, based on the details you share. You'll have a professionally-written tribute without struggling to find the right words or flow.
Can I edit the obituary after it's written?
Absolutely. You can request revisions directly inside Everlight when the draft is ready. After that, you can copy, download, or receive an email with the tribute which is yours to keep, change, and use however you wish.
What if I need to pause?
Take all the time you need. Your browser will cache the progress, and you can return later when you're ready to continue.
How is this different than an obituary template?
Free online obituary writers use templates to write an obituary for you. Our approach uses a specially trained AI writer to take your inputs to craft a personalized, unique tribute for your loved one.
Why not just write it myself?
Our guided approach makes the task easier, ensuring you don't miss important elements. We then take the burden off of you by crafting the words and flow for a personalized outcome.
Is there a word limit?
You can specify any length requirements you have. If you're unsure, we'll create a standard-length obituary suitable for most publications.

Privacy policy
Last updated: July 8, 2026This Privacy Policy describes how Upkart LLC (“Everlight,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares your information when you use Everlight — including our marketing website at https://everlight.life and our application at https://app.everlight.life (together, the “Service”) — and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

- Details about the person being memorialized: the biographical information you enter — names, dates and places, life details, family and relationships, tone preferences, and, if you choose to provide it, cause of passing. This may include personal data about the deceased and about living individuals (for example, surviving family members) that you choose to include.

We and our providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, keep it secure, and remember your choices. Cookies can be “session” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remaining until they expire or you delete them).
- Strictly necessary / essential. Required to provide the Service you request and to keep it secure — for example, cookies set by Stripe on the checkout page to process payment and prevent fraud. Without these, services you ask for cannot be provided.

- Functionality. Remember choices you make, such as your saved intake progress, to give you a smoother experience.

How We Use Your Information
- To generate an obituary draft from the details you submit.
- To let you review and refine that draft through the revision chat, and to produce the final formatted text and PDF.
- To deliver your obituary and send transactional emails (your access link, a reminder if you haven’t finished, and the final delivery).
- To process your payment and provide customer support.
- To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Service, and to comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your information to send marketing or promotional emails unless you have separately asked us to.How Your Information Is Processed and Shared
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers we rely on to run the Service, and only as needed to provide it:
- Anthropic — the details you submit and your revision messages are sent to Anthropic’s API (Claude) to generate and review your obituary draft. This content is processed to provide the Service and is not used to train AI models.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Supabase — secure database and file storage for your submission and generated PDF.
- Resend — sending the transactional emails described above.

- Law enforcement / legal requirements — where required by law or valid requests by public authorities, or where we believe in good faith it is necessary to comply with the law, protect our rights or the safety of others, or prevent wrongdoing.Data Retention
- Paid orders: your obituary and its PDF are stored so you can access them through your private link. That link remains active for 7 days after purchase.
- Submissions you complete but don’t purchase: if you finish the questions and reach checkout but do not buy, the submission saved on our servers is deleted after 30 days. (If you leave before finishing the questions, your entries stay in your browser and are never sent to us — see “On-device draft saving.”)
- We retain limited order, payment, and usage records as needed for accounting, tax, security, and legal compliance.International Transfer
Your information may be processed and stored on computers located outside your state, province, or country, where data-protection laws may differ. By submitting your information, you agree to that transfer. We take steps reasonably necessary to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.No Accounts
Everlight does not require you to create an account or password. Access to your draft and finished obituary is granted through a private, single-use link we email to you.Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and not be discriminated against for exercising those rights.

Revisions are made through the chat and are limited to editing the obituary itself. Your private access link remains active for 7 days after purchase. If you have not finalized your obituary within that window, we may automatically finalize the most recent draft and email it to you so that your purchase is delivered before the link expires.Refunds

Refund policy
Last updated: July 8, 2026Everlight creates a custom, made-to-order obituary generated from the details you provide and delivered digitally. Because each obituary is bespoke and delivered on demand, all sales are final and we do not offer returns, except in the limited cases below.When you’re eligible for a refund
You’re eligible for a full refund if a technical problem on our end prevented us from delivering the service — for example, the draft could not be generated, or you were never able to open it to review and revise. Our records confirm these situations. You may still have received an emailed copy of the draft; that does not affect your eligibility if you were unable to review and revise it as intended. We also refund accidental duplicate charges. If you ran into another technical problem that stopped you from using the service, contact us and we’ll review it.When refunds are not available
- Dissatisfaction with the wording, tone, or style. Every order includes at least three rounds of revisions (unlimited on the Unlimited plan), and the final text is yours to edit freely — subjective dissatisfaction isn’t a basis for a refund.
- Requests after you’ve reviewed and/or finalized your obituary.
- Issues caused by inaccurate or incomplete information provided at intake.
- Change of mind after the service has been delivered.How to request a refund
Email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase with the name on the order and the email you used. We’ll respond within 3 business days. Approved refunds go to your original payment method via Stripe, typically within 5–10 business days.Payment disputes
If you’re considering a chargeback, please contact us first — we can usually resolve things faster directly.Changes to this policy
