Tribute Videos

A Tribute Video is a great way to honor and show the life of your loved one through pictures. These heartfelt memories can then be shared with others. This is a time to reflect upon the entire life of a person through photographs. The video can be given to friends and family as a cherished gift to remember your loved one for generations to come.

This Tribute will combine old and new photographs of the deceased with beautiful background music, transitions, and exquisite video scenery and text, which honors the life that was lived. Up to 30 pictures can be incorporated into your video, which will last approximately four to five minutes. More may be added for an additional fee of $1.50 per picture.

We will present your video for friends and family throughout the visitation. After the Funeral Service, you will receive one complimentary copy that will be packaged in a customized DVD case for easy storage. More copies may be purchased anytime for an additional fee. When you take it home, it is the perfect keepsake to enjoy anytime you desire. The cost for the Tribute Video is $100.

If you live in the Fredericktown/Madison County area and are interested in this professional quality service, we work exclusively with Follis Funeral Home. During this difficult time, they can guide you through the collection and picture gathering process. Simply request this during your funeral planning time and Chris or Conita will be glad to help you. If you are outside this exclusive area and would like detailed instructions and pricing, we can assist you in putting this heartfelt video together on a short 24-48 hour notice 7 days of the week.

In order to complete your video in a timely manner, we request that you read and follow these important guidelines:

(Please remember that your pictures will look as good or as bad as they are submitted. We cannot make pictures appear better than they actually are.)

• All pictures must be loose. Pictures should be removed from frames, albums, books, etc., before submitting them for scanning.
• Pictures cannot be scanned out of a yearbook or photo album.
• Do not print your pictures on a computer printer.
• Do not submit photos that were copied from a copy machine.
• Pictures cannot be smaller than 2x3 or larger than 8x10.
• To begin, place a post-it note on the back of each picture, then, using a pencil, number your photos in the order you would like to see them on the video. We cannot put your pictures in chronological order for you. When you have finished, place your pictures in a large envelope. Do not rubber band them together!
• PICTURES MUST BE DROPPED OFF 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE OF THE VISITATION SERVICE.
• Pictures will be returned to you within 48 hours or by the conclusion of the funeral service.
