At Video Essentials, we understand that organising a funeral service can be a difficult time for everyone. Not everyone who would like to is able to attend, and those that do, are often lost in the emotion of the day.
When you wish to capture the day as a memorial tribute, we create touching funeral videos and funeral service video productions that allows the viewer to feel like they are there.
It’s also allows you to look back at a later time at your professional funeral video when emotions have settled. You can revisit the funeral ceremony, eulogies and the family and friends who attended, with your fitting tribute to your loved family member.
At such a difficult time, when everything is happening so fast around you, it’s easiest to leave the video production to professionals.
We present your funeral video as both a professionally produced video DVD, and an MPEG4 file, together with the option for live streaming of your funeral service over the internet, for those who are unable to attend the ceremony.
And as Melbourne based video production professionals, at Video Essentials, we take the stress away. Once we have the details of the funeral service, you won’t have to worry until you pick up the finished funeral video DVD 48 hours later, or we can also post the DVDs to you.
Video Production Packages – Melbourne
Basic Funeral Service Package
Servicing the greater Melbourne areas, we capture the ceremony using a multiple video camera system, that allows us to take in and capture all elements of the funeral service together with crystal clear audio.In this way, we are able to record the celebrant, music, speakers, and more, so nothing is missed, leaving you free to spend time with your family and friends, and later, in your own time, take in the words and thoughts that were spoken during the service.
Sample Funeral Video
This is a two camera mix to ensure no part of the funeral service is left out and our microphones will be mounted on the lectern to ensure optimum sound quality.
We film the arrival of guests, the funeral ceremony and up until everyone leaves the church or funeral chapel. We will arrive 30 minutes before the funeral service and work until everyone has left the venue, regardless of the length of time. (See the sample video below)
The funeral video footage will be fully edited with professional titles, music and mastered to a DVD. The edited funeral DVD master will also be converted to an MPEG4 file and put onto a USB. This will allow you to upload it easily to the internet for others to view later.
The end product is usually around 60-90 minutes in length.
You receive 10 complimentary funeral service DVDs, one USB (MPEG4 video file) and it’s all available for post or pick up within 48 hours of the service.

Funeral Photo DVD Slideshow to Play at the Ceremony
Video Essentials can create a touching video DVD slideshow tribute for your funeral, by taking your personal photos and videos, and producing a photo video slideshow presentation that is set to music, that you can then play as part of the funeral service.As well as playing the slideshow collage as part of the funeral service, these funeral video DVD slideshows can then also be included as part of the video and recording of the complete funeral service.
Sample Funeral Slideshow
Recording of eulogy or tribute off-site prior to the funeral ceremony.
In the situation where a mourner wishes to give a eulogy, but because of illness, difficulty of travel, or the emotional and physical stress, pre-recording a eulogy or tribute in the comfort of their own home, can be a far easier alternative.
We will come to you in the peace and privacy of your home, and professionally record your eulogy or tribute.

These files will be mastered to a DVD so they can be played during the funeral ceremony.
The price for recording of eulogy or tribute is $200 incl. GST

Internet Live Streaming of the Funeral Service
For those family and friends that are unable to attend the funeral ceremony, we are also able to provide live streaming over the internet of your funeral service.
Using the latest technology, Video Essentials can telecast the funeral service live via website.
When family or friends are unable to attend a funeral service because of health or access reasons, or if they are travelling or otherwise committed, live streaming over the internet is a logical alternative, allowing mourners to view and hear the funeral live from anywhere in the world.
We will record and then store the service which can be accessed for replaying for a period of time following the funeral.
