Now my granddaughter falls asleep to my voice — even though I'm two states away.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe BeThereBearLabs offers something new and truly meaningful in grief work—a way for families to hear a loved one's voice again. I have had the pleasure of seeing the comfort it brings is real and genuinely therapeutic, and have watched it move people deeply.
Real families, hearing them again.
Every bear carries a different voice — a mother, a husband, a grandmother. Here's what families have told us.
This bear is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I bought one for my 4 year old grandson Liam and he absolutely loves it. He calls him Teddy and smiles every time he hears the stories, poems and songs. Please get one for your grand children. We give this bear a 10+, high five, and thumbs up.
I had a memory bear made for my mom using a voicemail from my dad, and I honestly don’t even have the words to fully express how special this turned out. They were able to take my dad’s voice and, using AI, recreate it so my mom can hear him speak anytime she needs to. After losing him, that is something truly priceless. The moment she heard it… it was emotional in the best way. It felt like a piece of him was right there with her again. The bear itself is incredibly soft and beautifully made—it’s not just meaningful, it’s high quality too. You can tell a lot of care goes into their work. On top of that, they were so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Kind, responsive, and understanding of how emotional something like this can be. This isn’t just a product—it’s comfort, it’s healing, it’s connection. I’m beyond grateful we chose them to create something so important for our family.
I don’t usually write reviews like this, but this one truly deserves it. 🤍 I ordered a custom bear with my Nana’s voice recorded inside as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom, and I can honestly say this is one of the most meaningful purchases I’ve ever made. What could have been just a “cute” keepsake turned into something incredibly special and deeply personal. From the very beginning, the team was so kind, patient, and intentional. They went above and beyond to help me create the perfect message—making sure every word sounded just right and truly captured her voice. They treated me with such compassion and care, especially knowing how emotional and vulnerable this process was for me. That kind of empathy is rare, and it meant more than I can put into words. The bear itself is absolutely beautiful, but it’s what it holds that makes it priceless. I already know this is going to mean the world to my mom, and I truly cannot wait to give it to her. If you’re considering something like this—do it. Not just for the product, but for the people behind it. I’m so grateful for this experience.
What a precious gift for children who want to remember their great grandparents or grandparents. My mom is 87 and my granddaughter loves her Meme She will cherish her Bear. My adult son asked for one to I just wish I had found Betherebearlabs while my dad was living. But we do and will cherish these for many many years. Thanks go to Sam and his staff on providing a beautiful idea and well made gift! I highly recommend!
I can't thank you enough for giving me my husband's voice. I will be ordering more. He will forever be with me. God bless you and technology.
Be There Bear has given me a little piece of my husband who passed almost 2 years ago. Grief is so hard, to hear his voice say “I love you” as the last thing I hear every night is a comfort unexplainable. I’m currently ordering bears for our grandchildren…they too miss grandpa so much! I can’t thank Be There Bear enough, I highly recommend them!!
I received a bear for my son with my mom’s voice telling him stories. It is the sweetest gift and I highly recommend it getting one for your loved ones.
Great service! The product turned out great. I did have some questions to help navigate through some of the steps, but they were always quick to respond and very helpful! I haven't given my kids the bear yet as it's a Christmas gift, but I can't wait! After I competed all of my parts, it didn't take long at all for the bear to be sent right to me. I would do this again!
I absolutely love my bear! He truly sounds so much like my dad. The team at BeThereBearLabs has been nothing short of amazing! Thank you so much for the opportunity to hear my dad’s voice again!
Wonderful to work with Bear us adorable and cuddly My grandson loves it
I 100% recommend this company. We lost our son to cancer at 13 years old. They gave our daughter the gift of having her brother send her a message from Heaven. The voice is so realistic and I cannot speak highly enough about the customer service.
Hearing My Mom's voice agian left me breathless.
