Funeral & memorial photographs
Photographs to help a family remember a life.
If a funeral is approaching, start with the date and the photographs you have. We can help prepare the important portrait, create a photographic display and gather the material for something lasting afterwards.
One collection, several uses
Help for what is needed now—and what the family will keep.
You can begin with one urgent photograph and decide about the wider collection later.
Before the funeral
Choose and prepare the portrait, restore an older photograph and create a display or slideshow from the pictures available.
At the funeral
Use photographs to welcome people, prompt conversations and invite friends and family to contribute their own memories.
Afterwards
Bring photographs, cards, eulogies, letters and gathered stories together into a lasting family record.
Funeral & memorial services
Start with the part the family needs.
Each service can stand alone. Where useful, the same photographs and design can be carried across several pieces.
The Funeral Portrait
Selection, restoration and preparation of an important photograph for display, printing or use by your funeral director.
A Life in Photographs Board
A professionally prepared photographic display for the service, wake or celebration of life.
Share a Memory Cards
Cards or return postcards that invite other people to contribute stories, recollections and moments.
The Memorial Book
A designed family book bringing the photographs, written memories and important documents together.
The photograph needed now
Start with the photograph you have.
It does not need to be perfect. Send the best version you can find and tell us how it will be used and when it is needed.
- Recent digital photographs are welcome as well as older prints.
- Fading, marks and damage can be improved where time and image quality allow.
- We can prepare files for a funeral director, slideshow, print, frame or display board.
- The restored and prepared digital file remains yours to keep.
After the funeral
A life, gathered.
The funeral often brings photographs and stories into one place for the first time. We can help the family preserve them as a thoughtful, coherent book rather than return them to separate boxes and phones.
- Photographs from throughout their life, scanned and prepared.
- Memories collected from cards, messages and returned postcards.
- Eulogies, poems, letters, handwriting and meaningful documents.
- A designed proof for the family to review before production.
Practical questions
When time and photographs both matter.
Every funeral has a different timescale. Contact us early and we will help you prioritise.
How quickly can you prepare a funeral photograph?
Include the funeral date when you contact us. We will look at the photograph and confirm honestly what can be achieved in the time available before you commit to anything.
Can you work from a photograph on a phone?
Yes. Send the highest-quality version available. We can also work from prints, albums, slides and negatives where the timescale allows.
Do we need to organise all the photographs first?
No. Begin with the photograph needed most urgently. A wider board, slideshow or book can be planned from a rough group of photographs and refined with our help.
Do you produce the order of service?
Storykeepers focuses on the photographs and photographic memorial pieces. We can prepare images for your funeral director or stationer and keep the visual treatment coordinated where appropriate.
Can the memorial book be made after the funeral?
Yes. In many cases that is the best time, because cards, messages and stories gathered at the funeral can be included alongside the photographs.
A calm first step
Tell us the date and send the photograph you have.
You do not need to decide on every product now. We will help you identify what is needed first and what can wait until afterwards.
