For independent funeral homes

Dignified memorial tributes for the families you serve.

We restore every family photo first — then build two service-length tributes from them. Delivered in 24 hours.

Every one of 30–50 photos professionally restored — sharpened, color-corrected, faces brought back. Then a restored photo montage for the service and a living-motion version with subtle, lifelike movement. No flashy effects. No voice cloning. A 60–90 second vertical sharing companion comes with every order, free.

Your first tribute is on us. After that, our founding-home rate is $20 — for both formats, every photo restored. Most platforms charge more, for less.

Service-length sample

Eleanor Vivian Hayes is fictional. Her 16 portraits were generated to demonstrate the aesthetic and pacing — your tribute uses your family's actual photographs, professionally restored, not AI-generated ones. See both formats and the before/after restoration →

The category leaders built tribute slideshows in 2005 and have spent the last two decades adding subscription tiers. We restore every photograph first, deliver it two ways, and wrote the scope limits into the Terms before shipping the first render. — Zach Clements, Founder

How it works

Three steps. Twenty-four hours.

You send us the basics.

30–50 chronological photos of the deceased — even old, faded, or phone-snapped scans. Their name, dates, and a one-sentence dedication. That's it. No login, no account.
We restore and render in 24 hours.

Every photo is restored — sharpened, color-corrected, faces brought back. Then we build both formats: a restored photo montage and a living-motion version with a soft breath, a held warmth. Slow crossfades, a warm piano-and-strings bed, title and dedication cards.
You preview, then share with the family.

You get a private link to both service-length tributes plus a 60–90 second vertical sharing companion. If anything needs tweaking, we revise within 48 hours — included free. If the family isn't happy, full refund.

Product scope

What's in, what's not

A few lines about scope — the first is how we restore, the rest are how we work with funeral homes. All of them are in our Terms.

In our terms Restored, not reinvented. We sharpen, clean, and color-correct what the photograph already holds — and motion stays within what it supports. We never paint on a smile, a glance, or a movement the photo didn't show. More on what we do and don't do.
In our terms Motion only, not speech. Motion synthesis on still photographs — soft breath and held warmth. No voice generation, no lip-sync, no narration in the deceased's voice.
In our terms Full refund + file deletion. If the family is unhappy with the final tribute, we refund the full amount and delete the files from our systems.
In our terms You own the relationship. The family pays you, not us. We never contact the family. No upsells, no email lists, nothing.
