Creating a Funeral Tribute Video
By Matt Frazer
To create a funeral tribute video, a death care
professional must first have the family provide him with
family photographs. This process alone can be a very
moving and cathartic experience for the bereaved. Simply
sifting through the pictures of important events and
memorable occasions is sure to bring upon the family and
friends many wonderful recollections. Although it may
require time to sort through a large number of boxes and
assorted photo albums, as the family does this it's
enviable that many special stories will be shared. This
task can turn into a wonderfully special time when
children, family friends and relatives learn more about
their loved one who has passed.
Once the death care professional has the photographs and
the family has selected the theme of the funeral tribute
-- usually many will coordinate the video tribute with
other funeral stationery, then the tribute video can be
created.
In just three quick steps, a death care professional can
create a memorial tribute that will honor a loved one
who has passed. Using the latest, advanced funeral
technology, the death care professional simply imports
the pictures, edits them to add captions, crops or
touches up the photos, and then burns the tribute video
to a high quality DVD. The resulting video tribute will
contain the music and theme the family has selected,
their photos and any other personalization they wanted
to add.
Arrangements can be made for viewing of the funeral
tribute video at the funeral itself, at a memorial
service or even a gathering after the services. While
the immediate family may already be familiar with the
images, these tribute viewings give distant relatives
and friends a chance to perhaps see the deceased in
another light and to honor their life. Plus, the way in
which the photos move across the screen and are
choreographed to music enhances the experience.
These tribute videos are a far cry from the flat picture
board displays of yesteryear. Many times the video
tributes will be touching, sentimental and even funny --
all at the same time. Because of their personal nature,
additional copies of the DVD tribute video will be
requested and the death care professional can easily
burn more copies for distribution. Client families may
also wish that the tribute video be uploaded to the
funeral home or crematories website for additional
viewing.
For years following the death of a loved one, these
funeral tributes will be viewed again and again. While a
client families grief may never be gone for good, and
the sadness is almost never far away, viewing a tribute
video can bring back a flood of memories and emotions.
As a death care professional, you can help the bereaved
by offering DVD tribute videos giving client families a
unique way to preserve the story of their loved ones
life and to hold on to those special moments in a
personal way.
