A video for their celebration of life
Not every goodbye is somber. For a life well lived, we craft videos that feel like the person — full of their laughter, their adventures, and the music they loved.
A celebration of life asks for something different from a funeral. The gathering is about gratitude — the stories that make people laugh through tears, the trips, the kitchen dances, the fish they never stopped talking about. The video at its center should feel that way too.
Families send us everything: the wedding photos and the silly ones, the faded prints and the phone screenshots. We arrange them into the arc of a life, restore the older ones, and set the whole thing to music that matches the spirit of your gathering — including, if you choose, an original song written from their life and the memories your family shares.
Made for gatherings of every kind
Celebrations of life happen in churches and backyards, banquet halls and beaches. You receive both a private page — playable anywhere with a signal, shareable with family who couldn't come — and a video file that plays from a laptop or the venue's own system with no internet at all. The page stays up for a year; the file is yours forever, so the video made for one afternoon becomes the keepsake for every anniversary after.
What it costs
Complete videos from $149; our most chosen $299 Legacy includes the original song and 24-hour delivery, and the $499 Life Storyadds warm narration with every photo timed to the music. One round of changes is always included, and our promise is simple: if it isn't right, we make it right, or return every penny.
Questions families ask
What is the difference between a celebration of life video and a funeral slideshow?
Mostly the feeling. A funeral slideshow tends toward the reverent; a celebration of life video leans toward joy — the laughing photos, the adventures, the music they actually loved. We shape the same care toward whichever tone your family wants.
Can the video be upbeat instead of somber?
Yes — and for a celebration of life it usually should be. Tell us about the music they loved and the spirit of the gathering, and we will match it, from warm acoustic to genuinely uplifting. The original song can be written that way too.
Our celebration is weeks away. When should we start?
Whenever you are ready — your tribute is crafted within 24 hours of your photos arriving, so there is no rush and no penalty for starting early. Everything is saved as you go, and family can keep adding photos until you say the album is complete.
If you would rather not build it yourself
Tell us about them, share the photos, and we will craft a celebration worthy of the life. Ready within 24 hours, whenever your gathering is.
