Your funeral home needs more revenue.
Turn preplan “just cremation” into cinema quality life story films with one simple question.
"What would you give for a life story film of your parents — and to give your children that same gift?”
You ask one question
We do the rest.
How it works
What’s included?
A director led life story interview, woven with family photos, shaped into a cinematic film your family can return to for generations.
Legacy Film - A life story interwoven with family photos up to 25 minutes in length
Full Interview - Video, Audio and Transcript
90 second cinematic trailer - Easily sharable and playable at their service
Why this matters
Families receive a priceless heirloom. You add meaningful revenue and deeper loyalty—without adding work for your team.
By doing this for their kids and grandkids, families who preplan are giving the gift they wish they’d had from their own parents and grandparents.
And they spare their children the regret of stories left untold.
Later at Your Funeral Home
The room goes silent. The film plays.
A daughter hears “I’m proud of you” one more time.
Grandkids meet the grandparent they'll actually remember.
Three families ask how their parent can record one.
When families share these videos, your brand goes with them.
Not because you're trying to market and sell, but because you helped create something worth sharing and buying.
