At Tukios, we are constantly looking for ways to help you create more meaningful, personalized online memorials for the families you serve. We know that an obituary is more than just a notice - it’s a story of a life lived.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce our latest update: the Custom Text Feature.

What is the Custom Text Feature?

Sometimes, the standard obituary format doesn't quite capture the full essence of a loved one. You might have a beautiful poem, a detailed timeline of milestones, or a specific list of achievements that deserves its own spotlight.

Our new feature allows users to add custom text to a dedicated section, separate from the main obituary body. This ensures that these special additions stand out and receive the attention they deserve.

Where can families see it?

We’ve made the process simple so you can focus on the families, not the software. Here is how to use it:

1. The Memory Book: Adding a deeply personal layer to a cherished keepsake.

2. The New Horizon Template: Our latest website template designed for modern, elegant storytelling.

How it Works (Step-by-Step)

The AI Music Maker joins a growing ecosystem of practical AI tools from Tukios:

1. Navigate to your Dashboard: Log in to your Tukios website and select the specific obituary you are working on.

2. Access the Media Tab: Within the obituary, scroll down or select the Media tab in the obituary editor.

3. Find Custom Text: On the right-hand side of the screen, you’ll see the Custom Text section.

4. Add Your Content: Click the "+ New" button to open the editor. This is where you can paste poems, milestones, or any other personalized text.

5. Choose Your Display: Scroll down to the "Display Locations" section. Here, you’ll find two toggles:

   1. Obituary Page: Toggle this "on" to have the text appear beautifully below the main obituary.

   2. Memory Book: Toggle this "on" to include the text inside the printed or digital Memory Book.
      

Why It Matters

In the funeral profession, the "human touch" is everything. By providing a dedicated space for the unique details - the verses that meant something to the family or the timeline of a veteran's service - you are helping families grieve and celebrate in a way that feels authentic to them.
