Memory Magic Memorial Presentations - Information about the media used in your Memorial DVD Slideshow

What pictures should I choose?

There are many different things to consider when choosing the photos you would like to use in the presentation.

Choosing these special pictures for a loved one who has passed away is often one of the hardest things the family has to do, but it can also be one of the most rewarding jobs when you realize that the finished product will be a beautiful presentation that will be cherished and passed down through the generations.

Memory Magic will create a presentation for you that is both elegant and creative, and one that can be proudly shared with family and friends; a keepsake that will always be treasured, provide comfort and be watched many times.

Poetry and Video:

Poetry

Ask to see our extensive list of our favorite funeral poems, verses, sayings and quotes that celebrate life.

Gentle poems, quotations or expressions that meant something to your loved one or are especially endearing can add impact to your presentation.

Grief in any circumstance can be difficult to articulate. Through poetry we are able to express some of what we are feeling and share those thoughts with others in a beautiful way.

Video

Video clips add so much to your presentation!

We recommend using short clips that show your loved one doing some type of every day activity, or even simply smiling and laughing. Quite often we will render them in slow motion to add even more impact.

Most of the effects in your slideshow will be done with still pictures. However, there are lots of introductions and backgrounds where we have added video. It gives the slideshow an extra boost and adds interest and beauty.

Easy Steps:

Gather Family Albums

and invite another family member or friend to help you decide on the photographs. It is often faster and much easier to have someone by your side as you go through them.

Choose media from all stages

of their lives; childhood, teen years, dating, marriage, children, grandchildren, retirement. Variety is the key, so try to highlight as many of the milestones that you can. Choose a wide range of photos, from flattering studio shots to fun photo’s showing your loved one laughing or strong personality shots.

Include Gentle Poems or Quotations

To personalize it even further, include gentle poems, quotations or expressions that meant something to your loved one or are especially endearing. We would be happy to help you find something appropriate.
