How to create a funeral slideshow.

Funeral and memorial slideshows are a popular way to remember treasured moments and memories in the life of someone who has passed away. They often have photos or videos from important or warm moments from the individual’s life which many viewers may not have seen before. If you’d like to learn how to make a memorial slideshow (with music), here are the steps to take.

Step 1: Gather your photos, songs, and text.

Depending on how long you’d like your slideshow to be, this step can take the least amount of time or sometimes, the most amount of time. There is no single length of time that’s “acceptable” for a memorial slideshow, and depending on the way you’re presenting it, the slideshow could essentially be infinite. Typically, a memorial slideshow (if it’s accompanying a speech or other event moment) can last around two to seven minutes.

You also have the option of having the slideshow contain a large number of photos, songs, and text and keeping it going throughout the service. In this situation, you’d ideally want to gather a large number of photos, text, memories, and songs so that it wasn’t repeating the same photos multiple times throughout the service.

Here’s some tips when it comes to how to gather photos and memories for a slideshow:

  • Try to focus on photos that show the personality, character, or passions of the person who passed away. If they loved fishing, show off their catches! If they were a fan of theater, try to get some photos of them in character.
  • Ask your community for help. If you don’t have many photos or want to paint a broader picture that includes photos of their life that you don’t have access to, ask your friends and family to send you photos that you can use in the memorial slideshow. You can do this easily by using photos from a memorial website you’ve set up on Ever Loved (just make sure you ask the poster for permission before using their photo).
  • Show them at different stages in life. Organizing the slideshow in chronological order so that it shows them growing up and going through the different stages in life can have a very powerful effect. For an added experience, you can consider showing the slideshow in reverse chronological order.
  • Gather photos around big events or moments in their life. Including photos from celebratory or historic events in their life can help friends and family remember some of the best times they had with your loved one.

Create a memorial website

When it comes to music, there are a few ways you can put together a creative or meaningful playlist to accompany your funeral slideshow. Here’s some ideas to help you pick out some great funeral slideshow songs:

  • Look at their Spotify, Google Play, or Apple Music playlists. What were their most played songs? What’s their favorite band? Did they have a theme song? These can all be great ideas to include in the slideshow.
  • Go for classic songs. There are many songs that are frequently played at memorials or funerals that you can include in your memorial slideshow. Check out this list of funeral songs for some inspiration.
  • Ask for song submissions. Ask your friends and family to send you one song each that reminds them of the person who passed away and include these in the memorial slideshow. If you don't want to have a collaborative playlist, simply pick music that you find appropriate for the slideshow.

Once you've gathered your photos and song(s), you can start thinking about accompanying text. There are many options when it comes to text you can include in a funeral slideshow and depending on the funeral slideshow template you’re working with, you may find yourself wishing there was more or less text. Try to choose a template or style that works with the amount of content you’d like to provide. When thinking of text to use for the funeral slideshow, here are some ideas:

  • Consider including quotes from their favorite books, movies, authors, singers, or songwriters.
  • Include quotes they’re known for saying or phrases that accurately describe them.
  • Include memorial quotes or other famous quotes about passing that feel important to you.
  • Include memories or stories that were posted on a memorial website that was put up for the person who passed away (you’ll want to ask the poster’s permission before including their story or memory).

Step 2: Select a funeral slideshow maker

While this step might feel slightly overwhelming due to the choices out there and the vast amount of features, styles, templates, and qualities each funeral slideshow maker comes with -- try not to spend too much time on this part. You essentially just want a slideshow maker that possibly comes with funeral slideshow templates, memorial slideshow templates or celebration of life slideshow templates. If they don’t come with any templates, it still doesn’t mean they’re not the right program. Select a program that gives you the ability to put photos, songs (if desired), and text into a slideshow format and easily lets you upload it or download it wherever you need to, and you’ll be good to go.

An obvious first choice for Mac users is to use Mac’s Keynote, for Windows users, Powerpoint, and for those who would like something else -- Google Slides. These are the big players in the slideshow game and you can always find templates by Googling (funeral slideshow template powerpoint, for example) or looking in their premade template galleries.

For those looking for other options, here are some other programs you can use to make your funeral slideshow:

If you’re looking for information on how to make a funeral video tribute instead of a powerpoint or slideshow, check out this article . Some of the memorial video makers, like Animoto, have memorial video templates you can use to get started.

Step 3: Put it all together

Before you start putting it all together, it can help to have an idea of what you want your funeral slideshow to look like. This can be done through following a template or it can help to look at examples. Below you can find some funeral slideshow examples to give you an idea of what they look like:

If you’re using a site with premade templates or a program that has a template gallery, putting it all together can typically mean just putting images, songs, and text into the designated areas. If you’re freehanding it, it can sometimes help to have a plan of how you’d like the slideshow to look before getting started.

In any case, a memorial slideshow mostly consists of photos, songs, and some text all put together in a way that memorializes the person that passed away. There doesn’t necessarily have to be a specific or “right” order of photos or memories, so feel free to get creative with it.

Step 4: Share the funeral slideshow with your community

You’ll first want to upload the video onto a video hosting site such as Vimeo or YouTube . Funeral slideshows are typically first shown to the community during the services, so you’ll want to make sure it’s ready to go on the day of the service. After the service, you can share the funeral slideshow with those who attended (and those who didn’t) on your memorial website.

Ready to share the video on a memorial website? You can start one on Ever Loved in just 10 minutes. Memorial websites let you share memories and videos, post event details, collect donations and much, much more.

Tips for Memorial PowerPoint Presentations

Remembering a special person in your life

  • Brock University

An ongoing PowerPoint presentation can be a caring part of a memorial service. Present photos of your loved one and all the happy times that they shared with you and others. Use these tips as a guide to getting organized and creating a wonderful memory for your family and friends to watch again and again.

Information in this article applies to PowerPoint 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010; PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, PowerPoint for Mac, and PowerPoint Online.

Collect Important Memories

Sit down, collect your ideas, and make a checklist of what to do and what to gather for this milestone occasion.

Think about what you would like to share with family as well as guests. Be creative as you make a list of things to include. Make it a true trip down memory lane by collecting:

  • Photos as a child or young person.
  • Photos with a loving spouse during the courting stage and through the years that followed.
  • Photos of important dates in their life such as graduation, first job, first child, or special vacations.
  • Precious mementos such as the program from a high school play or a dried flower from a wedding bouquet.
  • A love letter to or from their partner.
  • A favorite poem.
  • A favorite religious passage.
  • Special songs, such as oldies music, classical music , or hymns.

Scan photos , letters, poems, and other items if you do not have digital copies. Store these digital copies in a separate folder along with the PowerPoint presentation file.

Create a Digital Photo Album Quick and Easy

PowerPoint's Photo Album tool makes it quick and easy to add one or several photos to your presentation at the same time. Effects such as frames and captions are ready and available to enhance the presentation.

Or, use a photo album template to quickly create a polished, professional photo slideshow.

Compress Photos to Reduce Overall File Size

Compress the images in a PowerPoint slideshow or photo album to reduce the overall file size of your final presentation with the Compress Photos option. An added bonus is that you can compress one photo or all the photos in the presentation. By compressing the photos, the presentation will run smoothly.

Add Colorful Backgrounds or Design Themes

Whether you want to go the easy route and simply change the background color of the presentation or decide to coordinate the whole show using a colorful design theme is a simple matter of a few clicks.

Use Transitions to Smoothly Change From One Slide to Another

Make your slideshow move smoothly from one slide to another by applying  transitions . These are the flowing movements that appear while the change is happening. If your presentation has different topics (such as childhood, marriage, and raising children), apply a different transition to each section to set it apart. Otherwise, limit the number of transitions, so that the audience is focused on the show and not on the transition.

Play Soft Music in the Background

Play the loved one's favorite songs or music in the background while the slideshow is in progress to bring back happy memories.  Add more than one song to the presentation and start and stop on specific slides for effect. Or, have one song play throughout the whole slideshow.

Automate the Memorial Presentation

Set up your slideshow so that it loops continuously during the memorial service or reception.

  • Go to Slide Show .
  • Select Set Up Slideshow .
  • Choose Browsed at a kiosk (full screen) .
  • Select OK .

The presentation will continue playing until you press the ESC key.

Give It a Test Run

No show would ever go live without a rehearsal. PowerPoint has a slick tool that helps you automate your slideshow . While you preview the presentation, tell PowerPoint when you want the next thing to happen (next slide, next picture to appear, and so on).

  • Go to Slide Show and select Rehearse Timings .
  • Practice running the slideshow. Click on a slide when you want to go to the next slide or start an animation.

PowerPoint records these timings and it will run by itself smoothly.

Slideshows are an engaging way to share memories about the deceased at a funeral. In our digital world, it’s easier than ever to create a slideshow in someone’s honor.

As funeral planning becomes more complex, more and more families are choosing to create a funeral slideshow with music in honor of their loved ones. 

Jump ahead to these sections:

Step 1: decide on the type of slideshow, step 2: decide if you want to do it yourself or hire a service, step 3: collect photos and memories, step 4: scan and digitize, step 5: choose your soundtrack, step 6: create your slideshow, step 7: test your slideshow, funeral slideshows: frequently asked questions.

However, since emotions are high after losing a loved one, you want to simplify this process as much as possible. Your slideshow is an act of love, and it’s a memento your family can hold onto for generations to come.

You don’t need any tech skills or artistic experience to get started. All you need is a computer, some photos, and a bit of patience.

Here’s how to make a funeral slideshow with music step-by-step. 

Tip: Creating a funeral slideshow is just one task you might be undertaking for the first time after losing a loved one. For help with everything else and a guide throughout the process, check out our post-loss checklist . 

How to make a funeral slideshow with music

Before you begin, think about the type of slideshow you want at the funeral for your loved one. There are primarily three types to consider:

  • Ongoing presentation - An ongoing presentation is set up on the side of the service, constantly streaming through photos of someone’s life. These might include light music, but it’s not necessary. They’re intended as a way to focus the attention on the life of the deceased, but someone else (like a priest) delivers the service nearby. 
  • Feature presentation - Another option is to make a small show out of the slideshow itself. These presentations are typically between two and five minutes, and they’ll include a variety of photos moving at a fast pace. These memorial slideshows have louder music instead of a speaker. 

There’s no “right” choice. Consider the type of service you have, and whether you’ll include the slideshow as part of this service.

If the service is strictly religious, you might choose to have the slideshow at the repast or at a family member’s home after the formal affair. 

Once you decide on the type of slideshow you'd like, ask yourself about your time constraints, tech savvy-ness, and if you're planning a virtual funeral service along with an in-person event.

If you have time and the tech available to you and you're only planning an in-person event, it might make sense to do it yourself.

You'll be responsible for the creation of the slideshow, music selection, and setting up the slideshow at the service or reception. 

Funeral planners with less time, more tech constraints, and are planning a livestream or virtual event might consider using a virtual funeral planning service, such as GatheringUs .

Most services will take your photos and playlist, create a professional-looking slideshow, and be responsible for day-of-funeral set-up, among other services included in their planning package.

Next, it’s time to collect your photos and memories in honor of your loved one. You don’t have to handle this process alone. Many include other relatives, friends, and family of the deceased. Sending an email or social media message to your guestlist asking for photos is a great way to get others involved. 

A funeral slideshow is usually a trip down memory lane. It starts with photos of the deceased as a child and continues throughout his or her life, stopping on important things along the way. The funeral slideshows might also include photos of mementos, like letters from loved ones, a favorite religious passage, or flowers from a wedding bouquet. Here are more ideas:

  • Baby photos
  • Photos from school (early through college)
  • Important dates like graduation, first child, etc. 
  • Vacation photos
  • Family photos 
  • Wedding photos
  • Love or friendship letters
  • Special poems or literature
  • A favorite religious passage

Get a bit creative with your photo collection process. This is a time to really uncover what it was about this person that made them special. Become the storyteller for their life story. This is how you keep their legacy living on. 

If you’re wading through old photos from friends and family, odds are many of them are physical copies. Luckily, it’s easier than ever to digitize photos . There are apps for digitizing them on your phone, or you can use a physical scanner.

Either way, it shouldn’t take more than a few hours, depending on how many photos you have. Recruit the help of friends and family if needed!

Once you’ve digitized your photos, keep them organized. Made a digital photo album to keep your images safe. You can do this with a cloud storage tool like Google Drive or Dropbox , or you can use your local hard drive on your computer. 

It’s recommended to use a cloud storage option since not only is this more secure, but they’re easy to share. That means you can easily share access to your entire family, and they can add photos of your loved one as well. This simplifies the process for everyone. 

Last but not least, don’t forget about social media. If your loved one was active on social media, there might be memories on there that you want to save. You might need to transfer Snapchat memories to your computer or download photos from Facebook. 

Next, it’s time to pick your song. Even if you’re not playing the slideshow as a presentation, it’s still important to have music. This is yet another way to share something unique about your loved one.

If you end up using a tool to create your slideshow, they might have preset options to choose from. Otherwise, here are a few ideas that keep your relative in mind:

  • A favorite song
  • A couple’s wedding song
  • The theme song from a favorite show
  • Religious music
  • Modern funeral songs
  • Classical music

If the slideshow is long, you might need more than one song. Don’t feel like you need to stick to a single genre. You can always switch songs between photos to match the theme. Getting creative helps really tell a powerful story. 

Now it’s time to start creating. Here’s where you have to get a bit more technical. Don’t worry, this still is a simple process. No matter your comfort level with computers and design, there’s an option for you. Odds are you already have a video editor on your computer (like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker ). 

If you don’t have those preset options, you can always keep it simple by creating a PowerPoint presentation. You can use Microsoft Powerpoint or even Google Slides online for free. These are great, simple tools. Adding photos is as simple as uploading them to your individual slides. 

However, there are a number of programs and digital tools that can make your slideshow for free (or a low cost). This is a better option if you’re unsure how to get started or if you’re short on time. These programs are available on your smartphone or tablet as well for on-the-go creating. 

Last but not least, test your slideshow before the funeral. You never want to experience a technical issue or a misspelling, not when this slideshow is so important. Share it with a few loved ones to see their reaction for yourself. Is there anything you need to change or update?

Depending on the program you used, you might be able to automate the playing of the video or slideshow. Otherwise, be prepared to start the show during the funeral service. Talk to the funeral host or director about the integration of your slideshow into the memorial. 

If you need any technical equipment, make sure you test this as well. A frustrating error could get in the way of the smoothness of the service. When in doubt, over-prepare. 

Funeral slideshow FAQ: How long should a funeral slideshow be?

Because modern funeral slideshows are a relatively new concept, there are still a lot of questions about how they work. Let’s answer some of the most frequently asked questions. 

How long should a funeral slideshow be? 

There are no specific guidelines for how long or short a funeral slideshow should be. Most are between two and five minutes, though they could certainly be longer or shorter. When in doubt, talk to the funeral home or whoever is in charge of the ceremony. 

How do you turn a slideshow into a DVD?

If you have an existing slideshow on your computer, but you want to burn it to a DVD, you can easily do this with most editing programs. Both iMovie and Windows Movie Maker have a burn to DVD tool, and other film editing programs do as well. 

If you created your slideshow online or on PowerPoint, you’ll need to save your recording to your computer. From there, review your operating system’s guide for the best way to burn your video to a DVD.

How many pictures should you use?

Again, there is no straightforward answer for how many photos you need for your funeral slideshow. However, you don’t want to rush through photos too quickly or too slowly. Each photo should be shown anywhere between three to five seconds. This means you’ll need around 12 photos per minute of slideshow. 

If you have a 3-minute slideshow planned, aim to have around 35 - 40 photos. It’s always better to find more photos than you need. This way, you’re able to choose from the best of the best to curate a life story. While not the end of the world, you want to avoid using blurry or aged photos. 

Preparing a Funeral Slideshow

Having a photo slideshow at a funeral is a great way to honor the deceased. Not only is it an effective healing tool by showing just how great someone’s life was, but it’s also a way to bring the family together over shared memories.

It’s hard to put into words just how impactful someone’s life was, no matter how limited. A picture really is worth a thousand words in these situations. 

When putting together a funeral slideshow for a loved one, give close thought to how they impacted you. This is a part of their legacy. It’s something your family will cherish for years to come. What story do you want to tell?

Post-planning tip: If you are the executor for a deceased loved one, you have more than just the eulogy to think about. Handling their unfinished business can be overwhelming without a way to organize your process. We have a post-loss checklist  that will help you ensure that your loved one's family, estate, and other affairs are taken care of.
