Funeral slideshow
Make a funeral slideshow that honors their life.
For families and friends preparing a memorial or celebration of life: turn photos, a favorite song and a few words into a gentle tribute video.
What to gather
Three things make a tribute.
Photos across the decades
Pick photos from every chapter, not just the recent ones. Scan old prints flat in soft, even light.
The song they loved
One song or two. Its length sets the pace of every dissolve.
A few words
Their name, their dates and one line or verse that sounds like them.
Funeral photo video
How to make a memorial slideshow, *step by step*.
01
Add the photos
Upload them in the order you want, or let Frameo arrange them by era.
02
Choose music and pace
Pick the song, then set how slowly each photo dissolves into the next.
03
Add their name and words
Name, dates, short captions and a closing verse for the last frame of the tribute video.
04
Share the tribute video
Export for the screen at the service, a TV at the reception, or a private link for family far away.
Tribute video styles
Five ways to remember them.
Choose the tribute that fits the room. Each one opens to show how it plays, how long it runs and the music that suits it.
Begin their tribute
Start their tribute with one sentence.
Say who they were and how you want it to feel. Frameo opens with your words ready, and you add the photos and the song.
Funeral slideshow questions.
How many photos do I need for a funeral slideshow?
Let the song set the count. With slow dissolves each photo holds for about five to seven seconds, so one song of three to four minutes takes roughly 30 to 40 photos.
How long should a memorial slideshow be?
For a service, the length of one or two songs reads well. For sharing online with family, a shorter cut is kinder to everyone watching.
What songs work for a tribute video?
Start with the song they loved. Hymns and gentle piano suit a service, and an upbeat favorite suits a celebration of life.
Can I use old, scanned or damaged photos?
Yes. Scan prints flat in soft, even light and upload them as they are. Fading and creases are part of their story.
How do I play it at the service or share it with family who cannot attend?
Export the video for the screen at the venue or a TV at the reception. For relatives far away, send a private link so they can watch from home.
