Life Story Films - NZ
Funeral Tribute & Memorial Videos in New Zealand
A personal way to remember a life, and share the moments that mattered.
When someone we love dies, photographs and home videos can suddenly become some of the most precious things we have.
We create funeral tribute videos, memorial videos, and celebration of life videos using pre-recorded Relative Memories interviews, family photographs, video clips, music and memories that tell the story of a loved one's life.
We bring those memories together into a thoughtful film that can be played at a funeral or memorial service, shared with family, and kept afterwards.
When Time Is Limited, Their Story Matters More Than Ever
If someone you love doesn't have long left, the idea of creating a film can feel overwhelming.
There may be no time for a traditional documentary project with weeks of planning and multiple filming sessions.
That's why this service is designed around what matters most: capturing the person while they're still able to tell their own story.
We can keep the process simple and focused, recording conversations about their life, the people they love, the memories they want remembered and anything they would like to say directly to their family.
The finished film can become part of their funeral or celebration of life — but it can also become something much more personal: a film your family can return to for years to come.
A Funeral Tribute With Them In It
A traditional funeral slideshow can beautifully bring together photographs and music.
But there is something different about seeing the person themselves.
Hearing their voice.
Watching them smile.
Listening to them tell a story.
Seeing the expression on their face as they speak about the people they love.
A funeral tribute video featuring the person themselves can preserve those things in a way photographs alone cannot.
Rather than simply showing a collection of memories after they have gone, we can record them while they're here, creating a tribute that allows their own voice and personality to remain part of the story.
A Tribute made From the Memories You Already Have
You don't need to create new material.
Often, the most meaningful content is already sitting in family albums, old boxes, hard drives and phones.
We can work with the photographs, home videos, recordings and memories your family already has and bring them together into a finished memorial video.
You don't need to sort everything perfectly before contacting us. We can help you work out what material will tell their story most naturally.
