What Is Recorded?
Most family members and mourners will not even be aware of the camera, or the fact that the Funeral Service is being recorded professionally on video.
When Will It Be Watched?
The funeral video becomes a family keepsake for Generations to come. Older relatives and younger family members who are perhaps not yet born, will both see and hear the entire Funeral Service.
Honouring A Life
It is because of respect for the deceased, and concern for the living, that video is becoming an increasingly important part of the grieving process.
