A slideshow for the service, ready within the hour.
Their photos, gently in motion, carried by an original song written about them — not a stock track. See the whole thing free before you decide anything.
The sample below is our Mother's Day demo. It shows the same photo-to-film and original-song pipeline, but we will not label it as a Funeral film until that exact sample is rendered.

Picture it
A funeral slideshow is a short film of a person's photographs, shown at the service or shared with family who cannot attend. This one adds an original song written about them by name, is typically ready within the hour, and can be watched in full before you pay anything.
The service is close and the photos are already spread across the table. You choose the ones that look like them, and they come back softly — a smile lifting, light moving across a face. Underneath, a song with their name in it, written from what you tell us. Download it for the chapel screen, or send the link to the family who cannot travel.
Lines the song might sing
“A whole life, in the photographs that survived it.”
“Everyone in this room was changed by knowing you.”
“Rest now. We will carry the rest of it.”
Your song is written from your memories — their name, your stories, your inside jokes.
What to gather
What makes a Funeral film sing
You don't need a perfect archive — a handful of these is plenty. The old ones, the blurry ones, the ones only your family understands.
- The portrait the family already chose for the service
- Photos spanning the decades, not just the last years
- Their parents, their children, their oldest friends
- The house, the workshop, the garden, the boat — wherever they were most themselves
- Old prints and scans, creases and all — we restore them first
- A short video clip, if anyone has one of their voice
How to make it land
Shaping a Funeral film
Open on the portrait the family already agreed on — the one that is going on the order of service. It gives the room something familiar to settle into before anything moves.
Then let the film go backwards in time rather than forwards. Ending on them young, laughing, is kinder than ending on the last photograph anyone took.
Questions about Funeral films
How quickly can I get it? The service is in a few days.
The finished film is typically ready within the hour of your order, and you can watch the free preview before that. Many families make it the night before and download it to a laptop for the chapel.
Will it play at the funeral home without internet?
Yes. You download the HD file, so it plays from a laptop or USB stick with no Wi-Fi and no watermark. You also get a private link for relatives who cannot travel.
What does a funeral slideshow usually cost?
Memorial and funeral video services commonly run into the hundreds, and often charge extra for a rush. This is one flat $49, with the preview free, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Do I have to pick the music?
No. Instead of a familiar track heard at every other service, we write an original song from what you tell us about them — their name, and the details only your family knows.
How many photos do I need?
Three is enough to begin. Twenty to forty is common for a life, and more is fine — we pace them to the song rather than rushing to fit a fixed length.
Is this respectful? I don't want anything strange done to their face.
Motion is subtle and optional — a slow settle, light shifting. We never distort faces, change identities, or make anyone appear to speak. A memorial can stay entirely still if you prefer.
Can relatives send me photos to include?
Yes. Collect them however your family already is — text, email, a shared album — and upload them together. Everything stays private to your project.

Fair questions
What exactly do I get?
The finished film in full HD with no watermark, the complete song, a private gift page link, and downloads you keep forever. One-time payment, no subscription.
Is the song really about them?
Yes. The lyrics are written from what you tell us — their name, your memories, your words. It's composed and performed with the same generation technology modern studios use, guided by your story. That's why your whole film costs a fraction of the $199 a custom song alone runs elsewhere, and takes minutes instead of weeks.
Is the preview really free?
Yes. Upload your photos and watch a watermarked preview with the opening of the song — no credit card, no commitment. You only pay if you want the full film.
What if I don't like it?
You'll have watched your preview before paying, so you'll know exactly what you're buying. And every order still carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
