Try to avoid using photos of a large group of people, and focus more on the photos where your loved one is clearly featured. Consider taking photographs of special memorabilia. Collections of trophies, artworks, records, costumes or sporting paraphernalia photograph well and help to create a unique and personal tribute. You might like to incorporate brief video reflections from family and friends, particularly those who are unable to attend the funeral.
Meaningful quotes, favourite poems or comforting prayers can be incorporated into the funeral video. This can provide the congregation with quiet time to listen to music, read the special words and reflect on the life of the deceased. Our Funeral Planning Guide includes an extensive variety of quotes, poems and prayers to help you make a meaningful selection. Arrange the order of the songs to match the order of the photographs, as it is very evocative when the sounds of the music and the events of a life are depicted in alignment.
The songs and hymns listed in our Funeral Planning Guide are there to help guide your thinking. When putting everything together you should aim for the video to be around 3 -5 minutes, the length of 1 or 2 songs. This is the optimal length of time for people to view and enjoy when screened as part of the funeral service. Once you have collated a range of photographs, and chosen the accompanying music, you are ready to combine the two and create a remembrance video.
Here are some suggestions:. Consider the story of your slideshow- Do you want to tell their life story chronologically, or grouped together by major life events? Once you've organized your photos, you may consider adding short captions that give the viewer some context dates, names of others in the photo, type of life event. You may select one song to play for short slideshow or a few to play throughout a longer slideshow. Funeral Slideshow Songs Funeral slideshow songs will vary greatly and should be based on the tone you are trying to evoke.
When selecting a song or songs, you may consider: Using the deceased individual's favorite song Using a wedding song Using a song written by the deceased individual's favorite artist Religious songs if religion was an important aspect of the deceased individual's life. Memorial Video Ideas Memorial video ideas include: Start the video with an image that captures the personality of the deceased individual. You may also include a favorite quote and their birthdate and date of passing.
Use their personality to inform what you include in the sideshow. For example, if they loved to make jokes or be silly, include images and quotes that represent this. Cluster images according to life event for example, if they always took the same vacation every year, you can cluster those images together. Chronologically organize images.
End the slideshow with a quote that represents the deceased individual, or an image of them with either a tribute quote, or the name of an organization you can donate to in their name.
