Typically Funeralvid will choose specially licensed funeral video music for our videos. This is to avoid any copyright issues when trying to share the video with family and friends. If you would like to provide us with music by sending us a dropbox/google drive/icloud link via email or sms message we can also use your suggestions for the video.

Our setup typically starts 1 hour prior to the funeral event. We typically start filming from 15 minutes before the event to around the time that guests start to leave the funeral.

We can customise a package for example that includes the pre funeral gathering, the funeral, the burial or cremation and any other family events around the day of the funeral that you would like to have captured.
It is best to phone us or fill out the contact form to let us know the time and location of the funeral as soon as possible to check our availability. Once you have made a booking with us it is best to send us as much information and email correspondence regarding the funeral as possible as quickly as possible so that we have the best information to provide your service.
The page link of your funeral will typically be emailed and txt messaged to you a day or two before the funeral . You can then share that link with all the invited family and guests.
