Every photo they have.
One beautiful slideshow.
The family scans a QR code and photos flow in from every relative’s phone — no USB sticks, no email chains. Arrange them, choose the music, and play it fullscreen at the service or export a real MP4. Free, on every case, forever.
The photos come to you.
Create the tribute
Name and dates — that’s it. You get a private photo-collection link and a printable QR card for the family: “Share your photos of Jim.”
Every relative adds photos
Kids in another state, cousins at the reception — everyone scans and uploads from their own phone. No accounts, no app, no USB stick in a junk drawer.
Arrange, play, export
Drag photos into order, add captions, pick a style and music. Play it fullscreen at the service, loop it at visitation, or export a real MP4 the family keeps.
What tribute-video vendors charge for — free
Tribute video is normally a subscription with a per-case fee on top, and the photos still arrive on a USB stick. This has neither.
| The usual arrangement | Slideshow.Memorial | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | Subscription, often with a per-case or DVD fee | Free, on every case |
| How photos arrive | A USB stick, or an email chain someone has to chase | A QR card — every relative uploads from their own phone |
| Who can add photos | Whoever brings the stick to the funeral home | The niece in another state, at midnight |
| Playing it | Proprietary player or a burned disc | Any browser, fullscreen — and a loop mode for visitation |
| The family's copy | Often an added charge | Real MP4 export, theirs to keep |
| Music | Vast stock libraries to wade through | A small curated library of instrumentals and public-domain hymns |

The family keeps everything
Photos and the finished video belong to the family. Export any time. Nothing held hostage.
The slideshow is the moment
everyone remembers.
When the lights dim and the first photo comes up, the room changes. That moment shouldn’t depend on a rush fee, a clunky editor, or whichever cousin owns iMovie. It should just be beautiful, every time, for every family you serve.
Why is it free?
Slideshow.Memorial is built by the team behind Funeral AI — the same family as Guestbook.Memorial and ObitWriter.Memorial. The free tools are our introduction: use them on every case, forever, at no charge. If you love them, we’d be honored to show you what else we’re building. That’s the whole arrangement.
Questions funeral directors ask
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
Really free — unlimited tributes, up to 100 photos each (a 10-minute slideshow), no credit card, no contract. We build paid software for funeral homes under the Funeral AI name; the free tools are how we earn the right to introduce ourselves. More here.
How long does the family’s link stay online?
Three months of free hosting after publishing — through the service, the out-of-town relatives, and the first weeks of sharing. The funeral home can extend it, free, with one click, as many times as it likes. And the slideshow itself is never at risk: the exported MP4 is the family’s to keep forever, and nothing is deleted when a link goes offline.
How do families get photos to us?
You hand them a printed QR card (or text them the link). Anyone with the link uploads from their phone — no account, no app. Photos arrive in your dashboard with the contributor’s name, and you choose what’s included.
How do we play it at the service?
Open the player link in any browser — laptop to projector, smart TV, chapel display — and tap fullscreen. There’s a loop mode for visitations. No special hardware, no rendering wait.
Is the MP4 export really an MP4?
In Chrome and Safari, yes — a real H.264 .mp4 rendered in your browser, honest about the rare cases where a browser only supports .webm. Nothing uploads to us to render; your photos never leave your control.
What about music licensing?
The built-in library is instrumentals and public-domain hymns we control, safe for services and family keepsakes. Families can upload a personal song — the upload notice makes clear the rights responsibility is theirs.
Who owns the photos and the video?
The family, always. Photos are private to the tribute, never sold, never used for anything else, and deletable any time. Privacy policy.
Retire the USB stick.
Your next service can be collecting photos in the next five minutes.
