Why record a funeral service?

It might feel unusual, but it could be the best decision you ever make

Before the Coronavirus pandemic, most people had never even considered recording a funeral service. 

Wouldn’t it be too sad? Isn’t it a day to forget? Shouldn’t we leave the past in the past? 

But when restrictions kicked in and no more than 30 people could attend a service together, people started to think differently about recording funerals. And as it turns out, there are so many benefits to recording a funeral service that it seems almost strange to think it’s never been commonplace in the past. 

A professional funeral video is perfect while Covid restrictions prevent people from saying goodbye…

With funeral numbers limited to thirty thanks to the pandemic, there will undoubtedly be tens, even hundreds of people who’ll wish they’d been able to say goodbye. And even during Covid-free times, there will always be those who aren’t able to attend for whatever reason; distance, emotions, work commitments. 

A professional recording of your loved one’s funeral means those people can join in and get some of the closure they’re looking for. 

Having something to look back on can help with the healing process

Friends and relatives will gain so much comfort from a beautiful, heart-warming video of a funeral, not just now but for years to come. Listening back to quips and eulogies will remind you just how much the one you’ve lost was loved. 

You might not be able to watch it for weeks, months or even years while the pique of your grief subsides, but once you’re ready, you’ll have the perfect media to bring you some relief and plenty of positive memories – as will your loved one’s other friends and relatives. 

A funeral video will stop you from forgetting happier times

One of the most beautiful things about a funeral service is the testimonials, memories and stories that people share about your loved one. But what’s to stop you from forgetting everything you heard and found out as the months pass by? 

By getting a professional recording of your loved one’s funeral, you’ll not only hold onto the love and memories for the rest of your life, but you’ll be able to share them with future generations too. 

Revisiting the best bits brings hope in the hardest times

Many people will have such wonderful things to say about your loved one, and it’d be such a shame to only hear them once. When times are tough and grief is at it worst, remembering the positive influence they had while they were here will help you move forward now they’re gone. 

And when you have a professional video recording of the funeral, you can listen to those lovely words and remember your loved one from different perspectives as often as you like. Not just you, but everyone else who loved them too.
