FAQ

We create beautiful tribute, keepsake and life-story videos from your photographs, video clips, music and memories. The process is designed to be simple and reassuring. After you place your order, we contact you personally to arrange the easiest way for you to send everything you would like included, then we create the finished video for you.

What does Everlasting Tributes do?

Everlasting Tributes creates personal tribute and keepsake videos from your own photos, video clips, music choices, wording and memories.

You do not need to edit anything yourself or use complicated software. You simply send us the memories you would like included, and we create a finished video that can be kept, shared and treasured.

Are these videos only for funerals?

No. Many families do use our videos at funerals, memorial services, wakes and celebrations of life, but they are not only designed for funerals.

They can also be created as personal keepsakes, remembrance gifts, anniversary tributes, birthday memories, Christmas gifts after loss, or Mother’s Day and Father’s Day remembrance videos.

Is this a done-for-you service?

Yes. This is a fully done-for-you tribute video service.

You are not buying a template to edit yourself, and you are not left alone with an automated system. We personally create the video for you, using the tribute style you choose and the photos, video clips, words and music you request.

Do I need to know how to make or edit videos?

No. You do not need any editing experience at all.

Our role is to take that pressure off your hands. You send us the photos, video clips and memories, and we turn them into a thoughtful, professionally created tribute video.

Can someone help me if I am not sure what to do?

Yes. If you are unsure which tribute style to choose, how many photos to send, what music to use, or how the process works, Trudi can help guide you by phone, email or WhatsApp.

We understand that families are often arranging these videos at a difficult time, so we have tried to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.

Can I give a tribute video as a gift?

Yes. A tribute video can be a thoughtful gift for someone who has lost a loved one, especially when you would like to give something personal, lasting and meaningful.

Families may choose to create a video for an anniversary, birthday remembrance, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or simply as a keepsake that can be watched and shared privately.

Are you based only in London?

We are based in London, but we are not limited to London orders.

Because the finished tribute video is created and supplied digitally, we can help families throughout the UK and internationally. Wherever you are, we will guide you through the process online.

Can I order from outside the UK?

Yes. You can order from outside the UK.

As long as you can send us your photos, video clips and notes online, we can create your tribute video and send the finished digital file back to you. If you have printed photos, we can guide you through how to digitise them and get them to us simply and quickly.

How do I send my photos and video clips?

After you place your order, we will contact you personally to arrange the easiest way for you to send your photos, short video clips, music choice, wording and notes.

This may be by email, Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer or another simple file transfer method that suits you. You do not need to have everything ready immediately when placing your order.

What if my files are very large?

Large files are not usually a problem. After you place your order, we will agree the best way for you to send them.

Short video clips and larger folders of photos can usually be sent by Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer or another file transfer method. Please do not worry if your files are too large to send by email.

What if I only have printed photos?

If you only have printed photos, please get in touch and we can advise the best option.

In many cases, printed photos can be scanned or photographed clearly using a phone. If you are unsure, we can talk you through what will usually give the best result.

Do I need to organise the photos before sending them?

No. If you already have the photos in a clear order, that can help, but it is not essential.

You can also send notes telling us which photos are most important, who appears in them, or whether there are any special moments you would like us to pay attention to.

How many photos or video clips can I include?

Each tribute video style has its own photo and video options. These are shown on the individual tribute video pages.

If you have a different number of photos, or you are unsure which option to choose, please contact us and we can help work out the most suitable version.

Can I include video clips?

Yes, short video clips can usually be included.

Some tribute styles are more photo-led, while others may allow video clips to work more naturally. If you have several video clips you would like to include, please contact us first and we can advise what will work best.

Can I choose the music?

Yes. If there is a particular song or piece of music that has special meaning to you or your family, you can tell us after ordering.

We also create a version using licensed library music, so you can have both versions. If anything needs clarifying, such as the exact version of a song, we will contact you before editing.

Can names, dates and messages be added?

Yes. Names, dates and short messages can be included where suitable.

You can send these details to us after ordering, along with any wording or notes you would like included. If we need to clarify anything, we will contact you before creating the final video.

Can these videos be used at a funeral?

Yes. Many families use our tribute videos at funerals, memorial services, wakes and celebrations of life.

We recommend checking with the funeral director, venue or celebrant to confirm how they would like to receive the video file and whether they have any technical requirements. The finished video can also be kept, watched and shared afterwards as a lasting family keepsake.

Can the video be played at a wake or gathering?

Yes. Some of our tribute video styles are especially suitable for being played quietly in the background at a wake, memorial gathering, celebration of life or family remembrance gathering.

All styles have been designed to loop smoothly, so they can be left playing for as long as you like with no interruption.

Can I keep and share the video afterwards?

Yes. Your finished tribute video is supplied as a digital video file.

You can keep it, save it on your phone, tablet or computer, share it with family and friends, or send it to people who could not attend in person.

What format will I receive?

You will receive a digital video file that can be watched, saved and shared.

If you need the video for a specific venue, screen or service, please let us know the details and we will supply it in the correct format wherever possible.

How long does it take?

The time needed can depend on the tribute style chosen, the number of photos or video clips, and how quickly we receive everything from you.

In general, a video takes around 2 working days once we have received everything needed. If you have an urgent requirement, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the timescale is possible.

What if I need the video urgently?

Please contact us before ordering if you have an urgent deadline.

We will always be honest about what is possible. Where we can meet a short deadline, we will do our utmost to help, as we understand the importance of these videos to families.

Is this an automated template service?

No. Everlasting Tributes is not a faceless automated template service.

The tribute styles give the video a clear visual structure, but your finished video is personally created using your own photos, video clips, music, wording and memories. If you need guidance, there is a real person available to help.

What if I am not sure which tribute style to choose?

That is completely fine.

You can watch the sample videos on the site and choose the one that feels most appropriate. If you are unsure, please contact us and we can help you decide which style may best suit the person you are remembering and the type of tribute you want to create.
