Truly Priceless

Reviewed on Aug 7, 2026

I ordered a custom bear with my Nana's recorded voice as a gift for my mom, and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful purchases I've ever made. The team was incredibly kind, patient, and intentional throughout the process, helping me craft the perfect message with real compassion and care. The bear itself is beautiful, but what it holds inside makes it truly priceless — I can't recommend this experience enough.

It felt like a piece of him was right there

Reviewed on Aug 7, 2026

I had a memory bear made for my mom using a voicemail from my dad, and it's hard to put into words how special this turned out. Using AI, they recreated his voice so she can hear him anytime she needs to — after losing him, that's priceless. The moment she heard it, it felt like a piece of him was right there with her again. The bear is soft, beautifully made, and the team was kind and easy to work with throughout. This isn't just a product — it's comfort and connection. So grateful we chose the

Comfort Unexplainable

Reviewed on Aug 4, 2026

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!!

FAQ

How is this different from a recording?
A recording plays the same clip forever. We recreate their actual voice from what you upload, so your bear can say something new — a birthday note, a holiday check-in, an "I'm proud of you"

Is there a subscription?
Why can't I hear a sample before purchase?

I started crying

Hearing my dad's voice again tell me how proud he is of me brought tears to my eyes. I just had to send them some old voicemails I had of him and I got my bear 5 days later.
