When we lose someone we love, finding the right words can feel impossible. Wakes are beautiful opportunities to connect, yet walking into a quiet venue after a funeral service often brings a heavy, quiet hesitation as guests arrive.

Echoes of a Life transforms that hesitation into a shared sigh of relief. We gather everyone's attention for a dedicated 30 minutes right at the beginning of the wake. Our focus is placed entirely on the magic of the spoken word. We perform carefully crafted, live poetry that mirrors your loved one's true essence—painting their daily choices, unique laughter, and lifetime milestones in vibrant, comforting colors.

As the poetry fills the air, a live, underlying sonic tapestry cradles every sentence. This soft musical accompaniment never distracts; it simply acts as a gentle heartbeat beneath the words. Moving completely in sync with the performance, sympathetic video imagery drifts softly across the screens. This calm visual backdrop gives guests a peaceful place to rest their eyes while the spoken words unlock memories, invite gentle smiles, and give the room permission to heal.

Hope - a poem by Echoes of a Life
Hope - a poem by Echoes of a Life
This poem is typical of the spoken word performances offered by Echoes of A Life. It's sometimes said 'Where's there's life, there's hope', However we believe that Hope extends beyond Life and means many things to many people. We hope you find this poem meaningful in whatever way matters to you most, and perhaps a glimmer of comfort.

🌟 A Different Kind of Tribute: How We Are Unique

Folllwing a traditional religious or celebrant service, Echoes of a Life offers a completely unique extension to the experience. We do not just read from a standard template. Instead, we transform personal memories into an immersive, 30-minute living performance right at the beginning of the wake.
Think of a traditional service like a beautiful, classic photograph. It is respectful, still, and clear. Our live poetry centerpiece is more like a rich, cinematic tapestry. We blend bespoke spoken word, lush live musical accompaniment, and serene, flowing video loops into a single, seamless environment.
We beautifully lift the heavy, awkward silence that often fills the room when guests first arrive at a wake. We gently bring everyone’s focus together, invite the room to breathe, and give your family permission to smile, share stories, and heal. It is a premium, heartfelt dedication—delivered with absolute care, complete transparency, and zero hidden costs.

Marek Tribedi
Marek Tribedi is a professional music producer, writing original music to accompany Alice's poetry performances as Words2Music. Marek's greatest creative enjoyment comes from providing a sonic interpretation of Alice's lyrical poetry. Marek also provides musical support for his wife Alice in care home entertainment.
Marek's sound production equipment is geared towards providing soft ambient tones that provide for profound, gentle reflection.
When Marek's mother passed away, her funeral was accompanied by Alice performing a heartfelt original poem, and a musical composition by Marek. The overwhelming positive reaction to these two tributes led to the launch of Echoes of a Life, as a way to offer comfort to others.
