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 care & concern shown to us meant the world at such a difficult time.
We were never made to feel as if anything was wasn’t achievable in planning mum’s funeral. We were truly supported into making it a day that will live with us forever.

From the moment we walked through the doors at City Funerals Mackay, we felt a sense of calm and care.
During such an emotional and difficult time for our family, the staff were not only professional but truly compassionate. They took the time to listen, to guide us gently through every step, and made sure our loved one was honoured with dignity and warmth.

Right from when they picked Anthony up to the burial was so personal and caring.
A very big thank you to Belinda and Alisha both made us as a family feel cared about and listened to what we wanted "We Mattered". I cannot express enough gratitude towards both of them.
