Leave your voice for the people you love, or bring back the voice you miss most, and hear it every time you hug your bear.
Mom's Voice
Nana's Voice
Daddy's Voice
Son's Voice
Husband's VoiceMom's VoiceNana's VoiceDaddy's VoiceSon's VoiceHusband's VoiceRecord a short voice sample and we create poems and stories in your voice, played every time they hug their bear.
Whenever they miss you, they just hug their bear to hear your voice.
Sarah loves her snuggles bear SO much! Even when I'm not with her, she can hear my voice.
Tell us about you and who it's for.
Read a short script from your phone.
Personalized just for them, from what you share.
We recreate a loved one's voice from the recordings they left behind, so a hug plays new messages in their voice, not just old clips.
“The comfort it brings is real and genuinely therapeutic.”
Favorite memories, what made them special.
Even 15 seconds of them is enough.
Confirm you have the right to use their voice, so every voice is handled with permission.
Before we ship. If it doesn't sound like them, full refund.
A voice is personal. So is every step we take to get it right.
Our process rebuilds how a person truly sounded, from as little as 15 seconds of audio or video.
An editor reads every message before it is sent, so what your bear says is right.
Our human-centric approach ensures we take the utmost care with every voice and every message.
Your recordings are never shared, and a loved one's voice is only used once you confirm you have the rights.
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.

Sherry Lynn CatesLegacy BearI 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.
Tap to read moreI 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.

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 would do this again!
