What makes a good memorial video?
A good memorial video is simple but still incorporates a tasteful range of content all geared toward telling the deceased’s story. Too many elements can be disrupting and detract from honoring your departed loved one. The goal is to be thoughtful and selective about your memorial video content, and try to base it on the interests of the deceased.
Consider including text content like book excerpts, quotes, or poems the person loved, video clips of them doing their favorite things and having fun with friends and family, and music that sets an appropriate tone while speaking to the deceased’s tastes and life story. Try to keep your memorial video under seven minutes, as you don’t want to take up too much service time, and do your best to keep transitions fairly subtle and subdued, keeping the focus on your late loved one.
What do I say at the beginning of a memorial video?
Generally, you want to begin a memorial video by acknowledging the audience, introducing yourself and your relationship to the deceased, and thanking everyone for attending the memorial. However, there are other ways to approach a memorial video introduction, and you might consider these interesting options as openers before you acknowledge, introduce, and thank:
- Welcome the audience into your relationship with the deceased by telling a story about a memorable experience or adventure you shared.
- Share an important life lesson the deceased taught you through your relationship, including some context and how it reflected their overall character.
- Read a particular passage, poem, or quote that was important to the deceased, discuss what it meant to them, and share how they embodied that meaning.
