DVD or Video Tribute
This a masterpiece of remembrance, honors, remembers and affirms the life of one who has died. Its unique video format visually blends photographs, which span the life of your loved one, with exquisite live video scenery, accompanied by beautiful background music and a choice of a vocal or instrumental solo. Personalization is created by using snapshots and album photographs spanning your loved one’s life. Family photographs take on a whole new meaning when they are creatively blended with video and music.
The Tribute will become a family treasure for many generations to come. The Tribute continually plays throughout the visitation, and at times at a specific point in the funeral or memorial service. Copies are available to be cherished in the privacy of your own home.
We believe that the funeral is an important event where family and friends gather to say goodbye to those they have known and loved. The funeral service is a time to share grief, a time to support those left behind. It is also a time for remembering, and a time to honor human life.
The Tribute Video is a valuable enhancement to the visitation and funeral or memorial service. With the portrayal of "A Lifetime Remembered", the funeral service will become even more meaningful to the celebration and a remembrance of life than just of death.
The Tribute Video is a wonderful way to allow others to enjoy those special moments in your loved one's life and for you to have a video of those memories as our gift to you. The pictures will be returned to you as soon as they are scanned. The video may be played during visitation and it can be played as part of the services.
Marker and Monuments
Throughout the ages, people have chosen to memorialize the lives of those respected, revered and loved. The universal thread, which has linked civilizations and generations, has been mankind's desire to remember loved ones by placing monuments at their grave.
When the time comes to commemorate the life of someone very special, or perhaps to plan ahead for yourself, many factors should be considered. You will be purchasing something that, quite literally, will last forever. The monument you create may very well serve as a source of historical data for generations to follow. Its purchase is one that should be made with great care and consideration.
