About Us
As professional writers, our work has appeared in newspapers across the country and on behalf of people and businesses in nonprofit, Fortune 500 and other sectors.
When it comes to telling the stories of good people and celebrating their unique and wonderful qualities, we are very good at what we do.
So it's no surprise that over the years family, friends, church members and neighbors have turned to us during their deepest sorrows and greatest milestones for help writing legacy tributes.
Through The Last Word, we are honored to share our talents and expertise with the public, and to help tell the stories of your loved ones for all the world to read.
