We Make Memorial Videos and Funeral Slideshow Montages

The Memorial Video Process, Explained

Most celebration of life and video memorial projects start with a phone call to Peter. 
  • Peter asks questions about the person and the date of the memorial service.  He asks what you have in mind.
  • Normally, people will need to hunt around and even ask around to find out what images and video are available.
  • Peter gives an estimate for the project.
  • If you decide to go ahead, Peter asks about the person's life, their family, and what was most important to them.
  • He explores with you the words that would describe the person and if there are sayings or quotations that can be used.
  • Peter will spend time getting information about the photos to be used for captions.
  • Once we have the materials we get to work and make the video memorial.  We then post a preview on-line.
  • Oftentimes, people find more images or want some changes to what is posted. We welcome all changes - the objective is to get the project perfect.
  • Once we have your final changes or final approval we go ahead and make up the final memorial montage.
  • We normally deliver an HD version of the project on a USB flash drive as well as a standard definition version on DVD. But if you prefer Blu-ray or just want a downloadable version - or something else - just let us know.

Why we are different...

We understand that a death changes everything.  We know that a gap opens up that can never be refilled.  We know the unfairness of it all. So we listen to you to help you create a meaningful tribute to someone loved and unique. We believe that the funeral slideshow and celebration of life process can be an important part of grieving - and a step in the healing process. Something to be looked at not just on the day but after too.
We don't rush you or impose arbitrary limits or restrictions.

A Time to Reflect...

A slideshow for the funeral or memorial service need not be complicated.

A gentle push through the images can evoke the history, the spirit and the essence of that precious  person...

A Thank You Note from a Son who Lost his Father...

"I have already watched the Memorial DVD for my dad many times. Each time with tears in my eyes.

"I am so pleased that something that could have been so morbid has turned out so truly beautifully.

"The graphics, the choices of music, even the DVD case, everything was done in such good taste and in a manner that George himself would have not just approved, but would have been proud of."

DYING IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Was your loved one on Facebook?
For some time now Facebook has given family the option of "memorializing" a person's page after they have passed, including their photos and videos.
"When an account is memorialized, Facebook sets privacy so that only confirmed friends can see the profile or locate it in search. Facebook removes sensitive information such as contact information and status updates. Memorializing an account prevents anyone from logging into it in the future,
while still enabling friends and family to leave posts on the profile Wall in remembrance."
Facebook will also allow users to designate a "legacy contact" (go to: settings > security > legacy contact). Once Facebook is notified
that the person has passed away, they will memorialize the account and the legacy contact will be able to:
Write a post to display at the top of the memorialized Timeline (for example, to announce a memorial service or share a special message);
Respond to new friend requests from family members and friends who were not yet connected on Facebook; and
Update the profile picture and cover photo.The legacy contact can be notified and given permission to download an archive of the posts, photos and profile info shared on Facebook.
Operating a bit like a living will, the legacy contact will not be able to log in as the deceased nor see that person’s private messages.
Alternatively, people can let Facebook know if they’d prefer to have their Facebook account permanently deleted after death.

What Our Tribute Video and Memorial Video Clients Are Saying About Us...
"I used Your Story Here to create a memorial DVD for my dad who recently passed.  Jane was fantastic!  She will meet with you personally and really cares about making a quality product that is personal, interesting and informative.  
She provided ideas and also sought input from the family.  She also took photos that were small or old and worn and brought them to life.  The result was a quality product reflecting my dad's life and a touching tribute to his family."              -  Lynn K.                                                                              More Testimonials...
