A memorial video is a way to share memories visually during the service or wake. It is often created as a slideshow or short video and may include photographs, video clips, music, quotes or personal messages. It is there to reflect the person’s life in a way that feels personal and true to them.
Video memorials
Collect and share photos, videos and stories of your loved one.
Bring the best memories together
A memorial video with photos, clips and stories from your loved one’s life is a special way to capture their spirit on the day of the funeral. It can bring comfort, joy and even the odd giggle from those who knew them.
Gather the photos and videos
Reach out to your loved one’s friends and extended family to see if they have any photos or videos they’d like to share.
Uncover untold stories
Discover stories about them you never knew, and ensure the richness of their life is represented at their farewell.
Bring it all together
We’ll help you create your video, including collating the photos and videos and choosing the music.
Play a heartfelt tribute at the funeral
One beautiful way to personalise the service is to collate and share a visual tribute to play at the service or reception. This is often a video compilation or slideshow of your favourite photographs.
Gathering material from friends and family
Share in remembering your loved one and ask their friends and family to contribute. You might discover photos you’ve never seen of them before, shared by friends from years gone by, or hear new stories that bring a new sense of colour and dimension to their life.
Many families ask relatives and friends to send through a small selection of their favourite photos, videos or stories. This can be done by email, text message or through a shared online folder. Starting with a few key moments often makes the process feel easier.
There are many simple tools that can help you create a slideshow or video, including free options. If you would like support, your funeral director can point you in the right direction and help you choose an option that works for the service.

The staff were all really lovely and friendly and supportive when my father recently passed away.
I had never organised a funeral before and the staff were wonderful in helping me through every step.
