A life well lived.

A story well told.

This Is My Story provides customized obituaries that capture the essence and honor the legacies of your loved ones. Led by veteran journalist Ovetta Wiggins, This Is My Story gathers vivid details about your loved one to produce a memorable obituary told with care, compassion and humanity.

Don’t let your story go untold or not told the way you want it.

Why Work With Us

Our mission is to ease the pain of bereaved families with written portraits that keep the memories of loved ones alive. This Is My Story tells the life stories of the ones we love, portraying what made them unique and what imprint they left on the world.
We also write (or assist in writing) the stories for those who want their obituaries pre-written, allowing them to have a say in how the world remembers them.

Want to write a living obit? We’re here to handle it.

A pre-written obituary, also known as a living obit or pre-need obituary, is viewed as a special gift to loved ones when the time comes.

We will interview you, gather all the details and distill it into a unique life story that truly reflects who you are. Who better to have a hand in telling your story than you, the main character.

Need help telling your story?

It doesn’t have to be an obituary.
If you are celebrating a milestone birthday and want to write a mini-memoir or if your family wants to record its history in story form, connect with us.
