Tribute videos, made by our own team
Families send photos.
We make the video.We make the tribute video
MemorialBooked makes funeral tribute videos for independent funeral homes. The family sends photos and picks a song; our team builds the video and sends it back for the service and the memorial page. Your director spends that evening with the family, not a scanner.

Three steps, each from the family's phone
At the arrangement conference your director mentions the video. The family gets a link by text, sends photos and the song they want from their phones, then approves the finished video.
That evening
Photos sent
Everyone in the family can add photos through the link, even snapshots of old prints.
Same link
The song the family wants
They name the song and tell us which photo should close the video.
Before the service
Watched and approved first
We send the finished video to the family's phone to watch. Any changes they ask for go in before you play it.
Off your desk
The evening before visitation, kept clear
Doing it by hand means scanning prints, cropping each one and timing them to a song, usually after the last visitation of the day.
Photos
Prints in a shoebox reach us as photos from a phone
Your director texts the upload link. Anyone holding it can add photos, so a cousin across the country sends theirs too.
- One link for everyone, so relatives far away add theirs
- Old prints are fine: a phone picture of the print works, and we tidy it
Touch-up
Faded, creased and dark photos come back clearer before they go in
Old prints often arrive faded, or too dark to show on a chapel screen. Our team runs each one through photo touch-up before it goes into the video.
- Brighter faces in photos taken indoors decades ago
- Creases softened on old prints
- Same photos ready for the obituary page too
Sharing
One video, played at the service and online
The finished file comes back ready for the chapel screen. The same video goes on the memorial page, where relatives who couldn't travel can watch it later.
- Chapel screen: one file, ready to play
- Memorial page copy for guests who could not travel
- Family link to watch again or send to friends
- Facebook post: when the obituary goes up, the post links to the page where it plays
A tribute guests return to
Guests open the memorial page for the video and see which home cared for the family.
On your own site
The video plays on the obituary page of your own website, not a vendor's site, so every view is a visit to your home's pages.

What funeral directors say
Walter D.Family-owned home 3 → 1vendors to callWe canceled three vendors. The website, obituaries and reviews now sit with one team that picks up the phone.
Carmen P.Cremation provider 1 minuteto the first replyFamilies used to reach voicemail at 2 a.m. These days a text reaches them within the minute, and I read the details over coffee.
Terrence M.Third-generation home 11pre-planning meetings, month oneOur pre-planning list sat untouched for years. The follow-up texts booked eleven meetings in month one.
Gwen H.Two-location home 0paper contractsArrangements used to mean a stack of paper. Families now sign the contract and put down the deposit on their phones.
Anil R.Home and crematory 31 → 104Google reviewsEach family hears from us about a review after the service ends. Our Google reviews went from 31 to just over a hundred in twelve months.
Marisol K.Rural funeral home 2 weeksto a new websiteOur old site went up in 2014. A fortnight after we spoke, a new one was live, with every obituary carried over.
Tribute video questions
Asked before the first video
Search a word like music or photos to jump to its answer.
5 questions
How do families get their photos to us?
Your director texts the family a link. Relatives upload photos from their phones, and old prints can be photographed and sent the same way.
How soon is a tribute video ready?
You give us the service date when the family gets the link, and the finished video comes back before that day.
Can the family choose the music for the tribute video?
Yes. The family names the song they want, and our team sets the photos to it.
Does the video go on the obituary page?
Yes. The finished video plays on the memorial page of your website, beside the obituary and the tribute wall. Guests who couldn't travel watch it there, and the family can share that link.
Can the family keep a copy?
Yes. The family gets a link to the finished video, to watch again or send on to friends. We also send your home the file for the service.
