How it works
You share the link. We take care of everything else.
Start their film in a minute and send the link to the family group chat. There is nothing to install.
Friends and family record a few minutes from their phone, with gentle questions to guide them. Photos and home video are welcome too.
A real person shapes every voice, photo and home video into one film.
Most films arrive the next day, ready to show at the service and to download to keep. Richer stories can take up to three days.
Shared by people who tried Dearly free of charge.
Jack, founder of Dearly
If you're planning a celebration of someone's life right now, you're probably carrying more than anyone realizes. Let me carry one part of it for you. Maybe the most meaningful part.
Hi, I'm Jack, the founder of Dearly. Here's how it works. You share one link with everyone who loves them. Family, old friends, the people scattered across the country who wish they could do something. Each person records a short video message from their phone. A story, a memory, or the thing they've always wanted to say. And then our studio turns all those voices into one beautiful film about their life.
Here's what surprises families most. It isn't only the film. It's that everyone who records a message gets to do something with their love. And everyone watching sees just how far this one life reached.
We will refine the film until it feels exactly like them. If it's anything less than extraordinary, you'll receive a full refund and you can keep the film. That's the Dearly promise.
Also, no family is ever turned away here. If cost is the only thing standing in your way, please write to me and we will make it work.
All you do is share the link and we take care of everything else. Because Dearly was never intended to just be a film studio. It's our way of making sure everyone gets to hear how deeply they're loved. And everyone gets the joy of saying it.
Everyone who records a message has a real tree planted in their name. It is our thank-you for showing up for someone they loved.

Yes. Start their film, share the link and collect as many messages as you'd like before paying anything. You pay $1,200 only when you're ready for our studio to begin. No credit card is needed to start, and their page stays available for as long as Dearly operates.
Most people worry about this, so we built everything around it. There's no app. Your people tap the link and record from their phone in a couple of minutes, with gentle questions to guide them. And our studio shapes whatever comes in into a complete story.
Yes. Once everyone has contributed and you ask us to begin, most films arrive the next day. Richer stories can take up to three days, and you choose when our studio begins.
You can see your own messages after verifying your email. The organizers can see all messages. After delivery, the messages in the film appear on the family page under its viewing setting. Messages left out stay private to their sender and the organizers. Please share the family link only with people you trust.
It takes a minute to start, and the people who loved them will do the rest.
