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
Commemorate your loved one's life with a collection of photos, videos and stories to be cherished for generations.
Capture their story
A special way to personalise the funeral service is to put together a collection of your favourite memories of your loved one. This is typically a slideshow set to music.
Gathering the photos and videos
We encourage families to reach out to their loved one’s friends and extended family to see if they have any photos or videos they’d like to share.
Uncover untold stories
It can be a lovely way to uncover stories about them you never knew, and ensure the richness of their life is represented at their farewell.
Bring it all together
We can help you create your video, including recommending what to include, and which platforms to use to create it.
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.
Trusted by families across Adelaide
Joseph was extremely empathic and patient with us.
He was able to change/accommodate any changes we wanted immediately and was always reassuring that nothing was a problem and that you could manage all requests which was evident with the lovely send off we had.

We could not have for a better send off.
From the start of making arrangements for John’s funeral everything was put in place and it was done as he would have loved. The staff were extremely helpful and very supportive to the family.

We were treated with kindness, empathy and patience.
The staff were professional and guided us through the process of organising a funeral with ease, understanding and respecting our wishes throughout the process. We are truly grateful to Yvette for her respect and attention to detail, nothing was too much trouble. Blackwells Payneham went above and beyond and we cannot thank them enough in helping us celebrate our father’s life.
