A tribute video, gathered from everyone who loved them.
When someone is gone, their story lives in the people who knew them. Collect memories and messages from family and friends, wherever they are, and we’ll bring them together into one gentle, lasting film.
“What’s one memory of them you’ll never forget?”
“What did they teach you?”
“What are you most grateful to them for?”
“Share something they always used to say.”
How to make a funeral tribute video
Send one link. Everyone records their message in their browser, on any phone or computer, and videos.me compiles the clips into one film you can watch, share or download. Contributors install no app and make no account. You tick the clips you want, drag them into the order you want, and the film is made for you.
- One link, no app, no account for the people recording
- Records in any browser, phone or computer
- Free to start, then $0.35 per video received, or a bundle
- You get one film back: watch it, share it, or download it
A memorial tribute video lets everyone be part of the goodbye, even when they can’t travel. Loved ones near and far record a memory, a story, or a few quiet words, and videos.me gathers them into a single film you can play at the service and share with family afterward. There’s nothing to install and nothing to edit: one link, and every story stays with you.
What you get back
A preview cut from the prompts on this page. Yours will be the clips your people record.
How it works
Three steps and a few minutes, and never an editor.
Create a link
Add a prompt like “What’s one memory of them you’ll never forget?” and get one shareable link in seconds.
Everyone records
Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip in their browser. They never install an app or make an account.
We make the film
We stitch every message into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.
How to make a funeral tribute video
Work to the service timeline
Services come together fast. Share the link as soon as you can and give family a day or two to record.
Name the occasion the way the family would
The occasion you choose is printed under the title on the finished film, so it is the words the family reads at the service. The list offers Memorial; choosing Other lets you type your own, such as a celebration of life or their name.
Choose a gentle prompt
Invite a favorite memory or a few quiet words, something kind and easy to answer in a hard moment.
Reach everyone, everywhere
Send the link to family and friends across time zones so distance is no barrier to taking part.
Compile for the service
Order the messages, compile the film in minutes, and play it at the service or share it with family afterward.
Prompt ideas for your video
?
Pick one. One clear question gets more replies than four. People answer a question; they stall at a brief.
Make it theirs. Swap in the name and the detail only your group knows. “Share a memory of Dad” beats “share a memory.”
Say the length. Naming thirty seconds gives permission to stop, which is usually what someone is waiting for.
Say when you need it. A date does more for replies than any wording.
Give contributors a great question, or write your own.
“What’s one memory of them you’ll never forget?”
“What did they teach you?”
“What are you most grateful to them for?”
“Share something they always used to say.”

How quickly can a tribute video be ready for a service?
Quickly. Share the link, give family a day or two to record, and you can compile the finished film in minutes, in time for the service.
Can family overseas take part?
Yes. Anyone, anywhere can record from their phone or computer in their own time, so distance is no barrier to being part of the tribute.
Is it private?
Completely. Your collection is private to you. Nothing is public unless you choose to share it, and the finished film is yours to keep.
Can we keep the video afterward?
Yes. Download it in full quality to keep, and share a private link with anyone who couldn’t attend.
What if someone gets emotional and stops?
They can re-record as many times as they need. Only the take they send is included.
Can we keep collecting after the service?
Yes. Leave the collection open and re-compile later to include messages that arrive afterward.
The messages will matter more every year.
Two minutes to set up, whenever you are ready. Free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock the messages.
