Memorial videos are a beautiful and meaningful way to honor a friend or family member.
We know that saying goodbye to a loved one is extremely difficult, and grief can make us feel powerless. However, commemorating losing someone can be a cathartic step in mourning.
If you are responsible for creating something to memorialize your loved one, think about creating a tribute video. Celebrate your loved one's life with a thoughtful memorial video that you can use at the memorial service, play at the funeral, or watch at home together.
Most importantly, working on a memorial video can be a healing part of the grieving process.
Consider these ideas below, or let them inspire something that captures the unique essence of your loved one.
What to Say in a Memorial Video
Many of us are struggling with what to say in a memorial video.
Words of sympathy we often feel are not enough, and sometimes struggle to find the perfect way to say, âeverything's going to be okay.â Unfortunately, the reality is that there is no right thing to say, and no magical words will help ease the grief of someone.
The most thoughtful things you can say in a memorial video are honest, kind, and compassionate.
Tell a Story
Take time to reminisce on a story you shared with your loved one. You can transport everyone watching the memorial video with you on that adventure you two had together. Begin by saying, âThis one time, [name] and I âŚâ Everyone will appreciate being welcomed into the experience you and the departed shared.
Express Your Thanks
Talk about why you are thankful for your time with your loved one. Is there something they did that changed your life or showed them that being in your life changed you? Were they there for you in a time of need? How did they make you laugh and enjoy life a little more? Find those extraordinary moments you two shared and share those moments in the video memorial.
Share Quotes, Poems, and Art
A memorial video doesn't need to be all video messages and pictures of the person. Think about including favorite quotes from someone that your loved one admired. You can also have a poem that your loved one admired or find a poem that you think expresses how they touched the lives of others. Was your loved one into the arts? Add in some of their favorite artists' work to be included in the memorial video.
Honor Your Loved One From a Distance
