Funerals don't have to be dead boring
“The service would have been much been much different had Eric organised it”
And that’s it, is it really how we would have wanted to remember someone. Many of us come out of a funeral thinking what was said and heard bear no relation to the person we knew. “Impersonal” is a common criticism. At a time when we are feeling low having just lost a loved one, we are expected to come up with a selection of hymns, poems that reflect someone’s life, not easy. We are trying to capture the individuality of the person we have lost without appearing flippant or irreverent.
Funerals need to be more uplifting
A farewell film with a difference; we have created a process that allows us to provide you with a loving memorial film, a celebration of life.
Reason for change
- It maybe the clergy or person performing the service did not know the person.
- The eulogy person(s) maybe nervous, our way creates a consistent message.
- Not everyone can attend funerals, on line viewing possible.
- The service can be over so quickly this enables a second chance to see the film.
- Sometimes a close relative or friend is not able to attend a funeral in person due to illness or obstacles to travel.
- There may be either pageantry fine eulogies which people want to save for family archives.
- For some people, this is their way of dealing with the grieving and closure process.
What is a Tribute Video?
Tribute video is in essence a video eulogy. A short biography film with photographs, video, cine of the person; woven in with a few personal messages from family or friends. An arrangement of images, video, newspaper clippings, diplomas, wedding announcements and other memorabilia also work nicely when added to this film and tell the story of a life in a touching way that family members will cherish. Poetry or sayings can be interlaced with brief footage of rolling hills, countryside, seascapes or something that typified the person as applicable. The touch of class is the background music, specially selected by the family which blends the whole thing together. As the music builds to a climax and the final clip there can be an epitaph with a sunset background.
