Funeral slideshow service

A funeral slideshow made from the moments that mattered

Lasting Light Films creates personal funeral slideshows from family photos, meaningful words, music, and, in our Memorial Edit package, home-video moments. We guide the selection and editing remotely, so family members can contribute from different places. Packages start at $600 USD.

You do not need to have every photograph sorted before getting in touch. Tell us who the film is for and when you hope to show it. We will help you choose a manageable next step.

Made for the occasion

A film for the funeral or celebration of life

Your tribute might follow the years of their life, move between important relationships, or center on a few things everyone remembers: the kitchen they gathered people around, a favorite place, or a familiar expression.

Tell us whether it will be shown once during a service, played at a gathering, or kept for private viewing. We can plan the pacing and agree on the version you need. Ask the venue how much time is available and what file format its equipment accepts.

A calm, guided process

How we create your slideshow

Talk through the occasion
Share the person's name, the intended audience, and any service date.
Choose the materials
We help identify the photos, words, and video moments that support the story.
Build the film
We arrange the sequence, add music and titles, and include the narration or animation you choose.
Review together
You watch the completed version and send one collected set of feedback for each included revision round.

Your memories, your choice

Photo animation and narration are your choice

Selected photographs can include gentle AI-generated movement. These sequences are interpretations of still images, not original recordings of the moment. You can review them and choose to keep any or all photographs still.

Optional narration uses a selected ElevenLabs AI voice and a script agreed with you. It can explain the memories behind the photos without requiring anyone in the family to record a voiceover.

A few practical answers

Questions about funeral slideshows

Do we need to record interviews?

No. Essential Tribute and Memorial Edit use existing family materials. If you would like relatives to share memories on camera, explore our memorial tribute films with guided interviews.

What if we have fewer photos?

The photo counts are approximate guides. Start with the materials you have. We can discuss a shorter film or a structure that gives those moments more space.

Can relatives in different states contribute?

Yes. Planning, sharing materials, reviewing the film, and delivery take place remotely. You do not need to bring everyone to the same location.

How long should the slideshow be?

Start with the time your venue has set aside. A short service tribute and a longer film watched at home can have different lengths. Essential Tribute is up to 5 minutes; Memorial Edit is 10–15 minutes.
