Operational reality

You didn't get into this business to edit video timelines at 11 PM.

We do one specific thing: the slideshow. You keep everything else exactly as it is.

The family hands you a USB stick the afternoon before the service. Sometimes it's a shoebox of loose prints or a scattered group text. Somebody on your team spends their evening dragging files into a template. Usually it's the youngest person on your staff. Frequently it's you.

It gets done because it has to get done. But it's rarely built into the schedule, it routinely triggers overtime, and forcing licensed funeral professionals to double as amateur video editors creates avoidable friction.

Every hour a director spends troubleshooting a transition or fixing a file glitch is an hour they aren't focusing on arrangements, families, or pre-need contracts. Keeping this task in-house isn't just a time-waster. It's an unnecessary operational drain.

Labor retention

It's rarely the standard hours that burn out staff.

Your team understands the schedule. They are committed to the families and the hours required for care. That side of the profession isn't what causes turnover.

What causes turnover is the administrative clutter. Calling a daughter three times to explain photo formats. Re-rendering a video because an ex-spouse was left in by mistake. Finding out the chapel TV needs a cable no one ordered.

None of that fits their core role, but it routinely lands on the same two or three people. If a senior director walks out the door, replacing them will cost you significantly more than an outsourced utility.

Financial margin

Stop donating billable staff hours to every service.

Most independent homes either bundle the slideshow into an arrangement package or charge a minor convenience fee. Once you factor in late-night labor costs, the math stops working. Adjust the ledger inputs below to see your actual overhead.

Final Delivery

A standard, high-definition 1080p MP4 file drops into your dashboard. Save it to a USB stick, load it onto your chapel system, and run the service.

Technical specifications

One file. No timeline. No surprises.

Title card, digital cleanup, dignified sequencing, licensed music, and a universal MP4 your team can play from the dashboard, a laptop, or a USB stick.

Opening title card

Name, dates, and background imagery adjusted for presentation clarity.

Digital image cleaning

Advanced optimization filters lift low-resolution phone photos and glares out of scanned prints so they display cleanly on large chapel monitors.

Cross-dissolve sequencing

Traditional, dignified transitions. No flashes, animations, or sound effect drops.

Licensed audio catalog

Access to a clean library of background instrumentals, fully licensed and royalty-free.

Universal MP4 format

Universally compatible files that play on Windows, macOS, smart TVs, and traditional hardware media hubs.

Data security & general questions

Clear file rules. No sales treadmill.

Data Retention Policy: Client assets are treated as private property. We do not sell data, use family photos to train public networks, or maintain permanent archives. Exactly 90 days following the scheduled service date, all submitted family files are permanently deleted from our secure cloud database. Your account dashboard is closed, secure, and password-protected.

No. We do not run persistent telemarketing cycles or continuous email sequences. If you hand us a video, we build it and send it back. We will contact you exactly once after delivery to ensure the MP4 file ran correctly on your system. If you want to use the platform for future services, the portal is there. If you don't, we will not hound you.

No. The upload portal explicitly notifies the family that their files are being digitally processed and optimized for chapel playback when they submit them. Families prefer knowing their older, damaged prints are getting professional digital cleaning before the service.

If a family contacts you close to the service because an image needs to be removed or a date corrected, notify us via the portal. We can replace the file, adjust the timeline, and issue an updated download link quickly during normal operating hours.

Friday night, somebody on your staff is making a slideshow.

Or we are. No high-pressure sales calls. Hand over the details of an upcoming service this week, review the completed file on your chapel system, and make your own decision.
