Memorial Video

Occasionally we are called on to videotape a funeral or memorial service. Many families see this as an opportunity to produce a life-history video or keepsake that can be passed on to future generations. The memorial, biographical or life-history video can be as simple as videotaping a formal funeral and/or grave-side service or as comprehensive as a in-depth documentary about a person’s entire life – beginning at birth.

This type of service is especially meaningful for the parent who leaves to mourn young children. When the child grows older they can remember their parent or guardian via an interactive DVD. The DVD can include several chapters arranged chronologically or in some other specified manner. For example, the DVD can include chapters such as “birth-to-high school,” “college years,” “career and special accomplishments or milestones,” and a “family and friends farewell” section.

Some families, instead of waiting until a loved-one has passed on, choose to create a documentary or life-story about the individual while they still have an opportunity to share some of their most intimate thoughts and recollections. The video can include photos, documents such as diplomas and other certificates, special recognition and honors, marriage license and selections from some of their favorite music collections. Additionally, family members and close friends can provide on-camera or audio-recorded testimonials or greetings.

We would like to share a very brief sample of a memorial video we produced for a member of the Baird family (Mrs. Baird’s Bread) a few years ago in Lakeway, TX.
