End of Life & Memorial Projects

 

How can someone’s memory be kept alive?

We recognize that life may not always provide the time to document the experiences of our loved ones before they are near end of life or no longer with us. We believe that their life is so valuable to celebrate and their legacy so important to live on through other family members in the years to come. Take a look at our project options and see what may resonate with your family during this time.

BLACK & WHITE MOMENTS

Digital Gallery or Framed Photos
-Portrait series during end-of-life
-Created as remembrance gifts

When a loved one is close to death, we often think of ways in which we can remember them by — We turn to photographs or video to help preserve our loved one in a moment in time.

While it can be difficult to capture our family members when they reach this stage there are elements of our loved ones that still retain their meaning — Your mother’s hands, your grandfather’s eyes, your father’s smile. We can capture these special characteristics, or full portraits, in a black and white format that lives on for your family.

LEGACY SLIDESHOW

Digital Video
-Can be used for funerals or memorial services
-Honoring anniversaries

When a loved one dies it can be difficult to find the time to collect and organize memorabilia for funeral or memorial services in the midst of everything happening. Families often have old photographs spread across various homes and scattered in numerous albums, drawers, or boxes. We often store old video clips or voicemails of our loved ones without knowing what to do with them.

Let our studio help free your time and organize these valuable scanned family images, old video clips, and even voicemails into a meaningful slideshow piece that weaves together key memories collected by your family over the years that honors the personality and life of your family member. This digitized collection can then be shared as a family legacy piece following the services.

LEGACY VIDEO

Digital Video
-Can be used for funerals or memorial services
-Honoring anniversaries
-Created as keepsake for future generations

Even though a family member may no longer be with us, their memory still lives on in the stories we share about them. By capturing those bits of joy and sadness, reflections of lessons learned and laughter shared, we can weave informal interviews with family and friends, collections of photographs, and even old video clips together into one legacy piece that honors your family member’s life or family tradition through the eyes of their loved ones.

Gather those stories into one legacy piece that can help your loved one and your family memories be remembered in the next generation.

Our lives are a series of experiences that can be remembered through photographs and further memorabilia, such as letters and handwritten notes. Holding a handwritten note from our relative can be such a powerful experience.

Creating a keepsake that incorporates your loved one’s image with excerpts of their handwriting directly on a photograph can be a unique way to remember and honor your relative.
