Video tributes can be an important part of a funeral home’s business and can leave a lasting memory for the bereaved
Video tributes are nothing new to the funeral service industry. Funeral directors have been using them for years as a way to personalize their services and to produce lasting memorials for families. When the funeral director takes the time to make an emotional investment with the client-family, the mutual benefits are invaluable. For the family, selecting photos for the video requires the family members to sit down and sift through old photo albums, laughing and crying together as they share stories about their loved one. In
Moving Memorials, writer Jason Rogers discusses how video tributes have the power to transform the family’s memories into a unique and heartfelt video that can be shared by everyone.
Rogers is president of Cherished Media Corporation, a video tribute service provider exclusively serving funeral homes across the country.
