A photo or video tribute you might typically see at a funeral is designed to capture the stories, life and personality of the person who’s died. They’re typically in the form of a video, slideshow or gallery that hosts a range of media, such as photos, videos, quotes or personal messages.
Memorial videos
Gather your favourite photos, videos and stories of your loved one to share as part of the funeral service.
Tell your loved one's story
A picture says a thousand words, and a video even more. Collating a collection of photos and videos to share at the service is a beautiful way to tell your loved one’s story.
Play a heartfelt tribute at the funeral
One beautiful way to personalise the service is to collate and share a visual tribute to play at the service or reception. This is often a video compilation or slideshow of your favourite photographs.
Gathering material from friends and family
Share in remembering your loved one and ask their friends and family to contribute. You might discover photos you’ve never seen of them before, shared by friends from years gone by, or hear new stories that bring a new sense of colour and dimension to their life.
Help putting it all together
Your caring Lester & Son funeral director can help you put the tribute together. We can share ideas and inspiration, and make sure the equipment is set up to play it seamlessly on the day.
It’s common to ask friends and family to share a few of their favourite photos, videos or stories. You might ask them to email or text them to you, or set up a folder online for people to upload to.
There are several platforms that allow you to make a slideshow or gallery – many of them are free. Ask your funeral director about which platform they recommend.
Hear from the local families we've supported
Thank you to Tony and the team for all their help and compassion.
My sister (Jan) had attended a funeral at Lester and Son in Wodonga and loved the way everything was conducted. Therefore when Jan passed away we immediately we chose Lester and Son. I found the staff in Wodonga fantastic, at such a trying time for our family all your work was so appreciated.

Tony was very understanding, competent and was able to accommodate all of our requests.
Tony was very supportive and caring throughout our whole experience. We were at the lowest time of our lives and decisions were difficult to make.

Brent from lester and sons Albury NSW made the process easy.
He was kind and polite and extremely understanding of how difficult the whole process is for the family. I was made to feel comfortable and even had a slight laugh and joke with Brent as we discussed aspects of my beloved dad and his personality and quirks whilst making our selections for the big day.
