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.
Memorial videos
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.
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 whole process was easy.
The actual place was absolutely beautiful felt so calm and welcoming. Didn’t make me feel like it was a chore or even hard to get through. They relaxed but professional manner was a breath of fresh air. We did not feel pressured to do this or that just to do whatever we wanted to do. I would like to go there myself in many many years.

This was my first time arranging a funeral, and I wasn’t sure what to expect.
From the very beginning, the team at Purslowe & Chipper made the experience so much easier during a very difficult time. Mykel was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and professional throughout the whole process. His calm and kind manner meant a great deal to me and my family.
