Crafting Timeless Memories
Ideas for media to include in your tribute video
Photos & Slides
Select your favorite photos with the goal to evoke an emotional response. Your pictures have the power to make the audience laugh, cry, or anything in between. Using a variety of photographs will keep your audience interested.
Old Video Footage
We can include video footage. Nothing brings a person back into your memories better than film, ideally with audio as well.
Video of Family and Friends
We try to take advantage of reunions and have family and friends recite short recollections.
Voice-over
We suggest delegating this honor to one family member to present an overview of the person's life at the service.
Captions
You may have more details on the story around the photo. If you do, include that as a caption. Look on the back of the photo for a description.
Clippings and Memorabilia
Some people have been featured in newspapers or magazines or have kept scrapbooks of achievements. Trophies, awards, or collections can be included in the video as well.
Cards and Letters
Very often grandparents accumulate cards and artwork from their grandchildren. These can also be included.
Poems and Sayings
Meaningful poems, quotes, or sayings that resonate with your loved one's life.
