Building the Perfect Video Memorial for your Loved One



Video memorials add a beautiful personal touch to any funeral or memorial service. They can showcase the deceased individual’s life and personality, helping people remember happy memories instead of focusing on death. At The Jerry Spears Company, we believe that video memorials are a perfect tribute. Here are some tips to help you create the best possible one:

1. Collect Pleasant Memories

Find videos of pleasant memories, important achievements, and clips where the deceased individual’s personality shines through. Focus on casual and intimate videos instead of something formal. For example, a beautiful clip of your loved one enjoying a sunny beach is more impactful than a stiff awards ceremony presentation. You can have a section of the video dedicated specifically to educational and professional achievements if needed. 

2. Background Score

If the video has no voice or voice-overs, choose an appropriate background score for it. Focus on music that will evoke positive emotions like that can help people heal. Don't choose songs with vulgar lyrics or offensive beats. The music should be suitable for funeral services.

3. Do a Voiceover

A voiceover can give your videos from coherence and set a great emotional tone. They are particularly useful if you don’t have many video clips and are relying on pictures. Tell a story through images and share personal experiences in the video to set the right tone. Such a clip will have a deeper emotional impact on your audience.

4. Use Good Software

Use a good-quality software program to ensure the video turns out to be crisp and appealing. You don’t want sloppy transitions or choppy effects. There are several video editing tutorials available online for this purpose.
