Features of the Funeral Video Maker

Photo and video memorial slide shows

Upload the photos and video clips you have gathered, and this tribute video maker allows you to create a memorial slideshow set to a song of your choice. Simply drag and drop images into the online video editor built on HeyGen's AI video generator, with no timeline to struggle with and no software to install.

Ready-made memorial video templates

Select a template from a library of memorial and funeral designs instead of starting on a blank screen. Each tribute video template sets the background, transitions, title slide, and pacing for you. Customise the colours, fonts, and text to personalise your video and create an emotional tribute while you focus on choosing the right photos.

Names, dates, and quotations on screen

Add text such as names, dates, and quotes that help every guest follow the story. The subtitle generator keeps captions easy to read on a large screen, and you can add text to any slide and keep it on screen long enough for people across the room to read every word.

Perfectly matched music, timed to each slide

Make your tribute more personal with a song that truly mattered to them, or upload one shared by the family, so you have a video with music that suits the moment. You can choose how long each photo stays on screen, so the slideshow video never feels rushed and the tone remains calm, gentle, and easy to cherish.

Share the tribute in 175+ languages

When relatives are spread across different countries, the AI video translator recreates the entire video tribute in 175+ languages with natural, lip-synced voice, not just subtitles. Share your video so that one heartfelt memorial reaches a grandmother abroad and cousins overseas, in the language each of them speaks at home.

Use cases

A completed funeral service slideshow created from family photos, ready to play during the service.

Slideshow for the funeral service

Earlier, families would simply hand over a box of printed photos to the funeral home. Now you can easily add photos yourself, bring one cherished still image to life with image-to-video, and honour your loved one with a finished video, ready for a moving funeral service.

A warm celebration-of-life tribute that brings together brighter photos into chapters of a life well lived.

Celebration of life gatherings

A celebration of life should feel warm, not sombre. Choose a beautiful memorial slideshow, group brighter photos into chapters like family, travel, and work, and create a unique tribute that truly honours a life fully lived.

A written eulogy delivered as a warm, steady narration for a memorial slideshow.

A narrated eulogy or life story

Reading a eulogy aloud on the day itself can be very difficult. Paste the words and the AI voice generator will deliver them as a warm, steady narration for a memorial slideshow that shares their story, so it is heard even when speaking feels too overwhelming.

A heartfelt pet memorial video bringing together gentle photos and clips of a beloved companion.

Pet memorial and remembrance videos

A pet is part of the family too. Collect phone photos and short clips of your dog or cat, set them to a gentle song, and create a memorial you can revisit long after the loss – a touching tribute to a companion you cherish.

A saved voicemail turned into a shareable keepsake clip, paired with cherished family photographs.

A keepsake from saved voice messages

That saved voicemail is precious and easy to lose. Turn it into a shareable clip with audio to video, pair the recording with photos, and keep their memory alive with a memorial slideshow that the whole family can cherish.

One memorial tribute recreated in each relative’s language for a family spread across the world.

One tribute for a family across the world

Grief crosses borders and so should the tribute. Create a memorial video, then generate a video version in each relative's language so that no one watching from another country feels left out of the farewell, turning the day into a shared legacy video.

Funeral video maker FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is a funeral video maker and how does it work?

A funeral video maker is an online tool that turns your photos, video clips, and music into a tribute video you can play at a service or share online. With this funeral slideshow maker, you upload your memories, choose a template, add captions and a song, and export a finished video, with no video editing skills required. You can create a tribute video online in minutes, directly in your browser.

How long should a funeral slideshow be, and how many photos do I need?

Most funeral slideshows are usually five to eight minutes long, which works out to around 40 to 80 photos shown for four to five seconds each, set to one or two songs. If you only have a handful of older images, you can keep each one on screen for a bit longer and add in photos of meaningful places, and a memorial slideshow maker will still help you create a memorial photo slideshow that feels complete.

Can I add my loved one's favourite song?

Yes. Add a song from the library or upload an MP3 that was meaningful to them, and customise the timing so the photos match the music. If the video will play in a public service, please check that you have the right to use the track, as venues can have specific licensing rules.

Will the finished video play on the funeral home display screen?

Export in HD as a standard MP4, which plays smoothly on venue projectors, TVs, and laptops. Save a copy to a USB drive and also email a backup link to the funeral director in advance. Testing playback a day before is the safest way to avoid any last-minute issues with a funeral memorial video.

The service is in two days. Can I still create a tribute video in time?

Yes. A tribute video template takes care of the layout, transitions, and pacing, so even a first-time user can create a video in one evening. Upload your photos, add a song, include a few captions, and export — without having to learn complicated software while you are grieving.

How is HeyGen different from other memorial video creators?

Beyond creating the slideshow, HeyGen turns a written eulogy into a spoken narration and can create memorial videos in 175+ languages with lip-synced voice. Other tools stop at photos and music, so relatives who speak another language usually get only subtitles, when they should feel truly included in the farewell.

Can I create a beautiful tribute video without any editing experience?

Yes. People with no production background get studio-quality results on HeyGen, and educator Anton Voroniuk cut production costs by nearly 40x and saved about 15.5 hours a week after switching. A grieving family can create a touching tribute in a single sitting, instead of over several days.

How can I share the tribute with people who were not able to attend?

Download the video and post it to a memorial website, YouTube, or a private link that you share by text or email. You can also share it on Facebook so that relatives and friends who live far away can watch it and add their own memories to this touching tribute video, keeping it alive as a personalised remembrance that they can come back to whenever they wish.

Is there a free funeral video maker available, and how much does HeyGen cost?

You can start with a free video and create a complete tribute at no cost, which makes HeyGen a truly free tribute video maker and free memorial video maker for a one-time service. Paid plans start at about $24 per month and include longer runtimes, HD and 4K export, and no watermark.

Can I edit the tribute video after more photos come in?

Yes. Open the project in the AI video editor to add a photo that came in late, change a song, or correct a caption without starting again. Families often go through the video a few times with this online tribute video maker before the final version feels exactly right, and every change is re-exported in just a few minutes.

Can I turn a written eulogy or memorial programme into a video?

Yes. If the eulogy or memorial programme is saved as a PDF, use PDF to video to turn the document into scripted, narrated scenes, then personalise the tribute with family photos, music, and captions.

Can I narrate the tribute without coming on camera?

Yes. You can create a faceless video that presents the story through narration, family footage, photos, text, and captions, so no family member needs to appear on camera.
